Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I would assume that
having exceeded the number of attempts to enter the ADM1 key means
that the USIM is bricked beyond recovery.

But the sysmoUSIM cards sold at shop.sysmocom.de are fairly
inexpensive for a pack of 10, so a bricked (U)SIM shouldn't be too big
of a tragedy - or is there another dimension to this problem which I
am missing?

If you are anywhere near local to me (California, USA) I could give
you one of my sysmoUSIM cards, but I am guessing it probably won't
help you as I bought the cheaper version without the ADM1 keys - for
my application (production testing of my GSM MS hardware) it doesn't
matter what the programming of the (U)SIM happens to be.
