Is it possible to disable a part of touchscreen to stop phantom touches?

My Google Pixel 7 got dropped in water, and now it's getting phantom touches in a horizontal straight line about a quarter of the way down from the top. I know this has been asked a lot before, but stuff like adb shell wm size wouldn't work. Is it possible to stop touches from this area alone without reducing the entire screen size? I'm willing to root it if that would help.
