Device unresponsive

Hey all. I am running a generic x86 device and I tried to push 250 containers onto it. This is something for internal lab work and it works on the same hardware with just Ubuntu and docker. I’m not too concerned with it working on Balena though. What I am concerned with is that the Balena device basically becomes unsalvageable. No matter what I do I cannot stop everything on it. It becomes sporadically available, but even if I shell in the docker daemon is barely responsive.

All I’m looking for is some ability to nuke everything, I don’t care if this runs via Balena. Can I do anything short of re-imaging it?
