New phone stuck on prepare update

I am trying to setup a new IPhone but it keeps getting stuck on “Prepare Update”. Can’t delete the profile or anything because you can’t get to Settings until the phone is setup and it forces you to download 15.5.

iOS15.5 is Required: When updating, the tastes available update will install. iOS15.5 is what will be installed. iOS14 is no longer available.
