There are two ways to program the Axon. The first is with a bootloader, which by default is with the USB. But since that is damaged . . .

The second way is using a hardware programmer:

This plugs right into your Axon, and is very easy to use. For more info:

Sorry, I'm sleepy and didn't read your post carefully enough.

This is how you program the Axon with an Arduino:
