FIB is the only known way to do this but even then, that's the type of thing where you start with a pile of SoCs and expect to maybe get lucky with one in a hundred. A FIB machine is also millions of dollars. userbinator 24 days ago You'll need at least an electron microscope... but defeating MCU readout protection using a FIB is actually a thing:https://www.eag.com/services/engineering/fib-circuit-edit-de...Costs are what you'd expect for something of this nature.
