Builds / New Player: is my goofy roleplay build salvageable?

Hi all, I got the game years ago and was intrigued but couldn't get into it. I picked up Expedition yesterday and started a new game on Normal with Oddity xp and I'm loving it. Unfortunately I'm having what seems to be a common experience in getting my ass handed to me by Depot A. I've attached images of my stats, skills, and feats. My idea going in blind was to try make a sneaky dodge tank mad scientist, but I mostly just seem to die. Stealth seems less useful than I hoped since I haven't leveled lockpicking or traps. I met Fixer in the Junkyard and crafted myself a cool chemical pistol! Unfortunately the mutants in the depot resist half the damage and I can't get many attacks off anyway since I didn't invest in Dex. I bought some MK2 Frag Grenades for aoe dmg and flashbangs for cc, but I can't seem to finish off one group of enemies before reinforcements arrive. I've crafted morphine and adrenaline for even more survivability, but the simple fact is I just don't output enough damage.
I would appreciate tips for getting through the depot with the resources currently at my disposal as well as advice on where to take my character going forward.
