What is a warrant or subpoena but a demand by the state to surrender incriminating evidence?

You have a right not to testify against yourself. You do not have the right to conceal or destroy evidence!

The case you seem to be missing is when the testimony itself is evidence. Such a case seems to be protected by the fifth amendment.

How do you compel the production of evidentiary, self-incriminating testimony?

See: any case where anyone has had voice mail entered into evidence against them --- which is something that has happened many times.
