On my Android I can scan the wrong finger a few times and it’ll ask for my pin instead. I’m pretty sure rebooting would do the same but I’m too lazy to try that right now.
However, please make sure you try this yourself for your specific phone and Android version before relying on it.

Be careful. If they’ve ordered you to use your fingerprint to unlock the phone, and you “accidentally” do it wrong five times in a row to cause the device to lock, that may be considered disobeying an order.
You would want to lock the phone down before they’ve ordered you to do this.
idk maybe its just my phone (I’m on graphene os, a privacy and security focused ROM) but I have an option for “lockdown mode” which disables biometrics
