You could take out the cpu, build an own circuit around it and write a
small program to output it's internal ROM content on its data lines
where you fetch it from and store it then..
Complicated solution of course....
How would you do that? Many uCs with Harvard architectures don't
have instructions to read up the content of program memory. Even so,
how would you get the program into the uC without erasing the program
flash to start with?
I'm not following your logic here.
