You have to realise that all you're doing here is using a curious
definition of "circumvent" and "bypass" to mean two different things.

The methods used to penetrate a firewall are the same regardless of
whether or not it performs NAT, and so are the effects. Even if a
method existed to defeat the filtering part without defeating the NAT
part, nobody would bother using it (and I'm not aware of any such
method existing).
