Unable to format a write protected USB Stick

Question

Surely there are many many questions on this topic, But I've a reason to believe that this is different.

Things that I've already tried

1. Formatting from Nautilus
2. Formatting from Gnome-Disks
3. Creating a new partition table from Gparted
4. Formatting from Gparted
5. chown to get ownership
6. remounting with rw
7. forcefully remounting wit ntfs-3g

outputs (mounting)

$ sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdc1
mount: cannot remount /dev/sdc1 read-write, is write-protected
$ sudo mount -o remount,rw '/media/sumeet/4CCF-3379'
mount: cannot remount /dev/sdc1 read-write, is write-protected
$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o uid=$(id -u) /dev/sdc1 /media/sumeet/4CCF-3379
Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened.
The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which
could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command.

Chown

Creating new partition

$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdc

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.29).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

fdisk: cannot open /dev/sdc: Read-only file system

Still isn't working
