No matter how hard your axe, digging out stone with it should still take "the contagious". There are things that the D&D powercurve necessarily breaks (like, ironically, both dungeons and dragons) but manual tunnelling should not be part of that. Breaking through a couple of feet of stone or a brick wall should probably be feasible, but if you charge them less than a week or so for tunnelling through one of those blacked out 10'x10' squares, you only have yourself to blame as a DM.
