I don't thinks there is any correct way to physical distroy part of an IC without totaly distorying the device. You could try charging a up capasitor, and then discharging it into the i/o line. Depending on the number of joules you slam into the output transitors, you may just kill them, but on the other hand you may distory the whole chip. In either case, it's not going to be a very reliable method, and would not be suitable for production. Have you considered potting you PIC in a lump of eproxi resin, may not b e very suttle, but if you can't get to the lines you need, you can read out the code... Have fun. Mike...
