From a quick Google Search, a Russian company is offering microcontroller code-dumping services: https://russiansemiresearch.com/en/faq/

I have no idea if this is legit or not. I doubt your law enforcement would let you access their services anyway.

Edit: My guess would be they work with industrialized de-capping + software to dump the memory, like this: https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?page_id=40

There are other "chip intelligence" companies in the US, some of which probably have such services. At a different cost.

On some of these embedded chips there are methods to glitch the fuses for read protection by messing with the power (a form of fault injection attacks). These used to work a few years back but I haven't heard if they still do.
