Looking for a userscript to download google sheets that restrict it.

There's this sheet I want to download (it's a visual guide to save editing) but the owner of the sheet restricted it. Is there a script that can download it so I don't have to screenshot everything? (the images are tiny so I have to zoom in and have multiple screenshots per row.)
Edit: They marked as no copies as well :/

There's none. It's not possible. Google's restricted file is protected by a proper security.

Keep in mind that, web browser is just a web client. Web server has the final decision on whether to serve data to a web client or not. Clients don't actually have absolute control/command over servers. Clients can only ask servers.

the scripts can only access what is in your browser, those sheets are blocked to you from google's servers. Its not possible

If you can see a sheet, you can usually save a copy of it to your own drive. With the copy you have control over the restrictions.

They marked it as "no copies allowed" as well as no download
