Currently it is not supported though the issue is being tracked on the WSL GitHub repository.

WSL2 is basically a fancy "stripped down" Ubuntu Hyper-V VM, so no no support possible for low-level actions like that

You can now use usbipd to gain access to the usb device from within WSL, see the official documentation.

I'm still having issues, but is going in the right direction.
