Get to recovery with no screen and no ADB access

So I left my 6p on the roof of my car, drove for about 2 miles and it flew off car and was run over a few times. Aside from the screen being completely destroyed, it technically still "works" in that I was able to locate it via GPS with android device manager, haptic and ringing still work and the device is recognized by Windows when plugged in via USB, but without mass storage access.

I don't think I enabled USB debugging because it doesn't show up when I run "adb devices", but I'd like to try to get the device into recovery mode so I can get ADB or fastboot access and make some backups. I'd like to use the power / vol down button combo and try to drive it blind to get to stock recovery, but holding power down for 8 seconds just reboots the device.

Does anyone have a clever way of completely shutting the device off without having access to the touch screen?
