The Baltic Sea is relatively shallow[1], so commercial ROVs can easily get down to the pipe[2].
If you hedged a massive bet that say Norway will continue to deliver gas to the EU and Russia will still be cut off, then I guess it's possible a non-state actor could pull it off.
Sounds more like something out of a movie than anything realistic, but yeah...
