As a professional practitioner in the field of cryptocurrency and finance, I must ask: Can a smart contract truly be broken? Given the nature of its immutable and automated execution, it seems almost unbreakable. However, there are instances where loopholes in the contract's coding or unforeseen external factors could potentially lead to its failure. Do you believe there are viable methods to circumvent or "break" a smart contract, despite its inherent security features? If so, what are some of the potential avenues for such an exploit, and how can one mitigate the risks associated with them?

One approach to accomplish this is by incorporating a self-destruct function within the smart contract's codebase.
