I was watching this stream on twitch when this hand presented itself.
HJ has 66 opens with x2,
Btn Hero QsQd 3bet x6
F:6d6cQh- V checks H bets 25% T: 9h V checks H bets 25% R: Ah HJ Allin, Hero calls.

If you were the Hero, could you pull off at any point?

If you are folding that hand just quit. Sometimes you just take your bad beats.

it's hard to give up on this spot, it's to raise your head and go to another game.

No. This is a very difficult situation. What else was there to do? In such a situation, even the best player can make a mistake.

No, never, I think nobody, never. Flop a nuts like this makes you money 95+% as the opponent range is very wild, all the 6 hands, many pairs, I think, from 77, at least 1010 even some A10h, AJh, AQh, AKh hands possible. So definitely no way to fold it. If you lose, you can consider it as part of the game, sometimes it happens, far not so often than flop a poker, or get A or K on turn or river, while you have AA, KK, maybe 1 more 6, if he has a single 6 in his hands. Nothing else can beat you.

In Omaha, it would be an interesting question. What about I am really nut sure, maybe it is possible there, but I have my doubt, as the turn, river weren't A or K...

There are some situations in poker, where you can get away from a boat, but this was certainly not one of them. HJ will rarely have AA, since he just called the 3-bet preflop, and even if he can have AA, BTN would still only be losing to 4 combos of hands. And HJ could also have a hand like AQ, which might take this line, or A6s, or simply a bluff. So this is just a complete setup situation, where BTN is doomed to lose his entire stack, unless he can hit the 1-outer on the turn or river :)

I could never fold such a hand , but rarely , in paired boards that I see many overcards and my set is the lowest like with 33s or 22s, i might slowdown betting and start calling only , but yes generally in most of the cases I cannot fold , I think noone can lol
