I wonder if the correct strategy would have been if Trump had declared Martial Law declaring a National emergency and refused to leave his post and the White House.

IIRC, that was considered as an option.

Should have taken it?

Unlikely that would have worked. The Joint Chiefs and his cabinet would have opposed Trump. The battle always had to be won in the courts.

The problem with the post-election period was Trump didn’t have capable people around him. Giuliani, Powell, and Ellis were incompetents who failed to build a coherent legal case.

Trump has much better lawyers now and the result would be very different if redone today.
