I think they would have to bruteforce your PIN..

AFAIK Ledger Nano S do factory reset (remove private key & seed as well) after 3 invalid PIN attempt.

Can you bypass the user interface by connecting/mounting the disk (somehow) then have access to the file system and private keys stored there?

Check https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/73708/how-are-ledger-nano-s-private-keys-protected or https://www.ledger.fr/2015/03/27/how-to-protect-hardware-wallets-against-tampering/

TLDR : the storage chip actually have it's basic OS where you only can get signed transaction of the stored private key and you must know the password/PIN.
