From Apple's own two-factor account support documentation:
"While [Apple Support] can answer your questions about the account recovery process, we can't verify your identity or expedite the process in any way."
Even if you manage to confuse a support agent, they cannot do anything to speed account recovery or be socially engineered into account compromise.
