I think it's more like, Heisenberg was stating that there is no other
way to measure.

That is, I interpret the Uncertainty Principle as saying that it is not
possible to measure one value of a pair without correspondingly
disrupting its paired value.

Yes.  If we were to find such a way, it would be about the strongest
possible evidence that the Uncertainty Principle is wrong.
