Can you purge an apt package by stepping through the commands in the uninstall script, avoiding the failing commands?

I am running Ubuntu on WSL, and a package I have installed fails when I am trying to run

sudo apt purge --autoremove elasticsearch

The particular package itself is not interesting here, but instead i wonder:

Can you -somewhat conveniently - use some cli tool to step through the purge script one command at a time and then skip the failing steps?
