Configuration can take hours. The best way to reset them is by using the “pressing the top method” or restoring on a Mac if you have that. See: Reset HomePod or HomePod mini - Apple Support

After it’s been reset or restored, make sure the device is no longer linked to your Apple ID. You can use your iPhone to remove it by going into Settings - Your name and scroll down through the list of devices and if it’s there > Remove it .

Then Try setting up again.

Make sure you’ve updated all software and reboot the wifi for good measure before proceeding with set up. It still might take hours but should be done by morning, if you can wait. If it’s still not finished you can unplug HomePod for 10 seconds to see if it completes after that. Just never unplug if new software is installing in it.
