"get_field"/"get_fields" but with keys instead of names

This is the result I got from $_POST when saving a ACF repeater.

  ["field_5c8f3ed7718ef"]=>
  array(4) {
    [0]=>
    array(2) {
      ["field_5c8f423a718f0"]=>
      string(6) "ico-04"
      ["field_5c8f43e5076f7"]=>
      string(3) "333"
    }
    [1]=>
    array(2) {
      ["field_5c8f423a718f0"]=>
      string(6) "ico-04"
      ["field_5c8f43e5076f7"]=>
      string(3) "333"
    }
    [2]=>
    array(2) {
      ["field_5c8f423a718f0"]=>
      string(6) "ico-04"
      ["field_5c8f43e5076f7"]=>
      string(6) "123123"
    }
    [3]=>
    array(2) {
      ["field_5c8f423a718f0"]=>
      string(6) "ico-04"
      ["field_5c8f43e5076f7"]=>
      string(6) "123123"
    }
  }

Is it possible to produce this with an ACF function?

I managed to temporarily solve it by doing this:

$field_name = get_field_object($field['acf_mirror_field'])['name'];
                $field_object = get_field_object($field_name, 'option');
                $values = get_field($field_name, 'option');

                if( have_rows($field_name) ){
                    echo " this is a repeater";
                    while( have_rows($field_name) ) { the_row();
                        foreach($field_object['value'] as $sub_key => $sub_field){
                            foreach($sub_field as $repeater_key => $repeater_item) {
                                $subkey_object = get_sub_field_object($repeater_key);
                                var_dump($subkey_object['key']);
                                $field_object['value'][$sub_key][$subkey_object['key']] = $field_object['value'][$sub_key][$repeater_key];
//                                unset($field_object['value'][$sub_key][$repeater_key]);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }

Result:

array(4) {
  [0]=>
  array(4) {
    ["icon"]=>
    string(6) "ico-01"
    ["txt"]=>
    string(37) "22"
    ["field_5c8f423a718f0"]=>
    string(6) "ico-01"
    ["field_5c8f43e5076f7"]=>
    string(37) "22"
  }
  [1]=>
  array(4) {
    ["icon"]=>
    string(6) "ico-02"
    ["txt"]=>
    string(42) "22"
    ["field_5c8f423a718f0"]=>
    string(6) "ico-02"
    ["field_5c8f43e5076f7"]=>
    string(42) "22"
  }
  [2]=>
  array(4) {
    ["icon"]=>
    string(6) "ico-03"
    ["txt"]=>
    string(31) "22"
    ["field_5c8f423a718f0"]=>
    string(6) "ico-03"
    ["field_5c8f43e5076f7"]=>
    string(31) "22"
  }
  [3]=>
  array(4) {
    ["icon"]=>
    string(6) "ico-04"
    ["txt"]=>
    string(44) "22"
    ["field_5c8f423a718f0"]=>
    string(6) "ico-04"
    ["field_5c8f43e5076f7"]=>
    string(44) "22"
  }
}

But it’s very ugly and won’t run for every field type.
