Realistically speaking how likely was it for a jewish mob to be able to browbeat a Roman governor into executing a guy?

This is the territory of the Roman empire. Go ahead and point out Judea on here, see how insignificantly small it is.
To the Romans, Judea was just a barbaric slither on the frontier of the empire.
During the time of Jesus, Rome was busy dealing with its own internal politics. It's almost entirely certain that nobody working in Rome was even aware of Pontius Pilate's existence, and Pilate himself was likely not even aware of Jesus's existence even if he did exist exactly as written in the bible.
He would have had to attend to countless meetings everyday with the barbarous tribes he was governing. His job was to bring in taxes and strengthen the border of Rome, he would have had no interest in the meaningless politics of the Jews. When Jesus came up to him and offered him the cheeky line of "so you say" in response to "are you the king of the Jews?", he likely wasn't even paying attention and just told him to fuck off and let the Jews do what they want with him if it'll stop the locals from rioting.
