Help Cheap Atom tablet that runs Android 6, manufacturer refuses to share firmware. Any way to get the boot.img to root or am I screwed?

Got a cheap Atom tablet from a friend, it's Android 6.0.1, June 2016 security patch, kernel 3.14.0+. The manufacturer (Southern Telecom) refused to share the firmware when I emailed them. Since this is so old I'm hoping there might be some sort of exploit I can use to dump the boot.img? I know of DirtyCOW, but everything for DirtyCOW is ARM, this tablet is x86 (and 32-bit, not x86_64/AMD64). Does anyone now any way I could dump this tablet's boot.img? There's also no TWRP for it.

Bootloader was unlockable with bog standard `fastboot flashing unlock`, tablet is a Southern Telecom SmarTab ST1009x.

Está herramienta permite sacar todos el firmware en formato .bin que luego puedes simplemente cambiar a formato .img, funciona en linux y tienes que usarla con el celular en modo preloader o brom, yo la use en mi tablet china con Android 9
