If you wish to crate train, I'd work to crate train during the day and find an alternative at night. I only tried crating for a few nights when Jaspar was a puppy then never bothered after that. He was crate trained (with a minimalist approach as part of housetraining -- and now that they do accept the crate, I never leave them in crates during the day or night, using them only for transport. However they are quite content to use the crate when staying at the woman's who minds them -- she crates all the dogs at night. Jaspar and Leo stay together in a large crate then).
There's no 'rule' that says ANY dog needs to be crate trained, and if anything I think crates are seriously overused. For proof, look at how many puppy training sites advise that you can crate a puppy for 5+ hours after age five months!! Crating a puppy for hours and hours goes so against everything puppies are about, to me. I've found crates are hardly used by anyone in Europe outside people who show dogs BTW -- everyone I know in Ireland keeps the dog in the house or a room, never a crate, and never crates at night (I'm sure there are those who do crate, but honestly, amongst all my many dog owning friends and rescue contacts, no one crates their own dogs). Crating seems to be a phenomenon that developed in the US over the last decade or two; I'm still not sure why it became such a norm -- I presume maybe it was advocated by some of the TV dog trainers or maybe the internet has spread its use.
Let me be clear that I do find it useful to have a crate-trained dog. And I respect other people's choices and approaches. But even during training, one needn't stick the pup or dog in a crate for hours. And I strongly feel most dogs would be much happier confined in a room, rather than a crate if being left alone. Some dogs end up spending a significant amount of their lives in a crate -- easily half their lives, if crated at night and during a full workday five days a week, which to me raises questions about quality of life. We would be shocked if zoo animals were kept in such cramped quarters for so many hours. Most dogs would be very happy to have the kitchen to themselves or a utility room in the hours people are away, if they have a bed, water, some toys. Then they can play with the toys, get up and move around and stretch, have a sniff; but they don't have the run of the house.
So think about why you are crating and if you need to crate at all. Most people find it useful to have a dog that they can put in a crate for various reasons. So, I would certainly use a crate to help with housebreaking, which will effectively crate train your dog so that it is happy enough being transported in a crate or confined if necessary (use Shirlee Kalstone's book on housetraining a dog in seven days).
At night I have always had the dogs in my room but they will also sleep in another room on their own, or in a crate if required (this is nice for travel). When I go out durting the day I keep all three in one room -- either my office where they have a sofa to themselves, or a bedroom, where they sleep but sometimes play, or sit and look out the window to pass comments on the neighbour cats.
If your puppy is harming herself chewing on a crate I'd not force her to stay in one and/or I'd find a different model of crate where she can't hurt herself in this way. She doesn't need to sleep in your room if you don;t want, but why not then leave her in the kitchen with a snugglepuppy and some toys, inside an X-pen for example to keep her more confined and help with housebreaking?
