Chicken-egg problem: my Touch ID stopped working, but "Stolen Device Protection" won't let me fix it

Got a chicken-egg problem with my iPhone (SE 2020; 17.3 (21D50).) I turned on Stolen Device Protection, and then, some time later, Touch ID stopped working (IDK why; it just doesn't recognize my thumbs any more.)

So I want to fix Touch ID (by deleting and re-adding my existing fingers, or adding a new finger). But I can't change Touch ID, because Stolen Device Protection doesn't trust my PIN; it requires that I authenticate via Touch ID (which doesn't work.)

A solution would be temporarily to disable Stolen Device Protection, then fix Touch ID, then re-enable Stolen Device Protection. But Stolen Device Protection won't let me disable it, without me authenticating via Touch ID.

Has anyone figured out how to fix this problem?

These are the Developer Forums, where developers of apps for Apple's platforms ask each other for hints and tips on coding. These forums are NOT where Apple's actual developers chat about stuff.

Your question is more of a product support one, so I'd suggest you ask it over at the Apple Support Forums. Thanks.
