Unlocking a zoomed iphone 7

I have an iphone 7 that was accidentally set to zoomed mode and is now locked. The 'double-tap' of three fingers to unzoom is not working, and I can't seem to move the screen to enter the passcode.

My finger print id isn't working either because the phone has already disabled itself a couple of times with my attempts to get the passcode entered.

When I try to connect it to iTunes the phone won't connect without unlocking the phone which I can't do. Triple tapping the home button doesn't work either. I've watched endless videos on YouTube, all with the same advice, none of which seems to work.

I think I'm very close to putting in the final passcode that will result in the phone erasing itself.

Does anyone have any possible solution that will prevent this phone becoming an expensive paperweight?
