Romex is not ever supposed to be pulled underground....never. The wires used are not moisture resistant nylon shielded. I have personally seen how wires corrode when you strip insulation back and look at the copper.
but pulling even 4 of the #6 alum underground thru the sweeps should be easy enough with lube. Without looking at charts, and as mi mind tries to remember, #6 alum should be good for 50 amps.
as for wire fill, 1-1/4” sch 40 pipe can carry 13 of the XHHW Alum #6 wires.
