Let $x \in X$ and $\mathcal{V}$ be a countable local $\pi$-base around $x$. Set $W = \bigcup\{X \setminus V: V \in \mathcal{V}\}$. For any $y \neq x$, $X \setminus \{y\}$ is a neighbourhood of $x$ and so there is $V \in \mathcal{V}$ with $V \subseteq X \setminus \{y\}$. Therefore $y \in X \setminus V \subseteq W$ so, since $y$ was arbitrary, $X \setminus \{x\} \subseteq W$. But $W$ is a countable union of finite sets, so $W$ is countable, so $X$ is countable.

Let $x \in X$ and let $\mathcal{V}$ be a countable local $\pi$-base around $x$.

The complement of every $V\in\mathcal V$ is finite; so $W := \bigcup\{X \setminus V: V \in \mathcal{V}\}$ is countable.

For any point $y \neq x$, $X \setminus \{y\}$ is a neighbourhood of $x$ and so there is some $V \in \mathcal{V}$ with $V \subseteq X \setminus \{y\}$.

Therefore $y \in X \setminus V \subseteq W$.
15+
It follows that $X \setminus \{x\} \subseteq W$ and $X$ is countable.

Observe that the above argument only requires some point to have a countable local $\pi$-base, not every point.
