Seems you're missing python3-distutils package, install via:

sudo apt install python3-distutils

You need to install python3.8-distutils the suitable package to your python version (python3.8):

sudo apt install python3.8-distutils

Switch to python3.8 following this answer.

Reinstall pip3:

sudo apt remove python3-pip
cd /tmp
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python3.8 get-pip.py
pip3 install pyrogram
