I was able to find the EEPROM. It's a Winbond 25Q128BVEG WSON-8 on the bottom side of the board next to the mSATA/mini-PCIe edge connector.
Getting to it requires completely disassembling the machine and flipping over the mainboard. Quite annoying. Luckily, however, you don't have to remove the heatsink and fan assembly.

T420 also has an unpopulated header that can be used for flashing, does it exist in t430 too?
That looks nice. Unfortunately, I didn't see any unpopulated headers on the T430s.

The flash chip of T430s can be in SOIC package or WSON package, maybe yours is a WSON chip.
You called it. :)
Also, what's the best way to attach to the WSON without desoldering it? I don't really want to remove it but I will if necessary.
