Define completely
There are ways to corrupt the eMMC such that you cannot resolve the problem without removing the bottom cover of the machine. However recovery from eMMC corruption is tool free (except for the screwdriver)... it just requires a carefully timed flick of a switch.
Additionally there are ways to corrupt the on-board SPI in a manner that requires a bit of skill to recover. That is why non-expert uses are currently advised not to experiment with the SPI (it is very unlikely that you accidentally write a bad image into SPI). In principle even a bad SPI programming can be recovered with the aforementioned screwdriver, a paper clip and very steady hands but I've not seen anyone share a success report (and when/if I corrupt my SPI I plan to recover it with tools rather than a paper clip since I *don't* have steady hands).
PS Soft bricking through bad images in either eMMC or SPI are pretty obvious... the power LED doesn't come on.
