In fact, the debugger already supports pretty-printing for the
frame at point if you type "+" (collapse again with "-").

Here's a starter for you:

(defun debugger-expand-all-frames ()
  "Call `backtrace-multi-line' for all debugger frames."
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (while (ignore-errors (backtrace-forward-frame))
      (backtrace-multi-line))))

(define-key debugger-mode-map (kbd "*") #'debugger-expand-all-frames)
