I'm failing a class, my professor won't let me drop because it's past the drop date. This professor has been unprofessional, unhelpful and unreasonable the entire time. This is a 1 credit hour class that I have had to spend at least 90% of my time on (despite being in 3 other classes) before I started failing. She has graded inconsistently and I've caught her counting off points on stuff other students did the same thing on and didn't get points counted off for.

My grade is at 51% and I've basically been told to go pound sand and there's nothing I can do to pass.

I want to do the worst I can that's within the confines of the law so nothing blatantly illegal. I've already taken my documented instances of unfair grading to the Dean. They don't care.

I've already got all the other students to write about her on rate my professor and also on the school's semester survey. Is there anything else I can do to hopefully harm her career?

The better question here is probably, Why are you failing, and how can you prevent this from happening in the future?

Your story doesn't quite add up, and I think you're directing your frustration towards the wrong person.

Maybe you already know how your actions have contributed to this situation, maybe not, but pissing people off usually just makes things worse.
