Longshot with Pioneer BDR-209D

This might be a bit of a long shot, but I have a Pioneer BDR-209D made in December 2013. Below is the info from MakeMKV. I have a feeling this drive may be too old to flash to be able to read 4K discs. Can anyone confirm if it is too old or if it is possible to flash it and enable it to read UHD discs?

I'll post here instead of creating a new thread -- My ASUS drive gave up the ghost, but I have this drive in my headless Mac Pro that I retired last year:
Drive Information

Any chance this can be flashed -- and flashed on a Mac -- as I would prefer to save this Pioneer, even though I'll likely pick up a cheap LG later.

If you have access to a Windows PC there is hope.
