Is it possible to bypass the "OEM Unlock" feature in developers options menu by modifying the OEM_UNLOCK flag in the "persist" partition?

I have a Moto G9 Plus that is stuck in a bootloop. I’ve tried flashing the stock firmware multiple times without success, and I cannot boot into recovery or use a custom recovery ROM since none is installed. My phone's bootloader is currently locked. I’ve obtained the unlock code from Motorola's official website and am seeking a way to unlock it so I can flash a custom ROM like LineageOS. After researching potential solutions, I found that it might be possible to remove the memory storage from the motherboard and access the **persist partition** using an *UFI device* and an *eMMC toolkit*. Given this, I’m wondering if modifying the OEM_UNLOCK flag in the persist partition could bypass the "OEM Unlock" feature, allowing me to unlock my bootloader through fastboot. If possible, would this approach break any security measures defined in the **vbmeta partition**? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!
