It seems to me that if an attacker can get access to your microphone and camera, you have way bigger problems and they don't need your PIN at all.

So never install any apps that use the camera and microphone? Putting your finger over the camera when entering a PIN seems more practical.
But these apps shouldn't be running/accessing those devices when your phone is locked. If the apps can manage to get around that permissioning issue then they can control a lot of things directly, most likely, and don't need your PIN for much.
