Dont want to erase data after security lockout

My phone screen got damaged, and due to reduced screen visibility,, I unintentionally entered multiple incorrect passcodes, triggering the Security lockout feature. Now it's showing Erase as the only option. I don't want my data to be erased as it is not backed up. Since I am the phone owner is there any other way to access my iphone using other devices I have? I understand this feature for security reasons, but why do we have it when the owner him/herself wants to access it, it should be accessible by other means!!

Please help as I don't want to delete my valuable data.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16
