fails here missing the 2nd quote:
md5sums=('20e5b706ee3201aa2741dabca824cd8b')
md5sums=(')

This works better placing the cursor to any place from/incl ()
md5sums=('20e5b706ee3201aa2741dabca824cd8b')
md5sums=('')

but both bindings fail when placing the cursor on the leading "md5sum"
not deleting md5sum but still removing the checksum itself and not the
word under cursor.

So this is only a special case searching the quote but fails for
a more generic "delete word under cursor".
