That’s not the point of the duress pin.
Deleting the owner profile in the first place would make the device unusable for the same reasons you can’t end the owner session and go to another profile. If your data is in a secondary profile, so you can delete it without compromising the integrity of the OS, you can make your own profile duress feature by using an app with device admin to wipe the device (which will only wipe the profile) when you trigger it. There are plenty of duress keyboards with this feature.
