I don't work on SSD and i don't know how to work on them for data recovery, but i think you can backup FW if it's stored into SPI memory by using an eprom programmer.

AIUI the firmware is stored in several places including the NAND array, not just SPI flash.

While a solid majority of firmware updates are non-destructive and thus won't wipe your data with a reformat, the first step before performing any firmware update should still be to backup important data on your drive. Errors and faults can happen that may render your data inaccessible. Sometimes, updates are destructive, but in those cases users will be warned.
