On some aircraft it's possible to crack the door to a halfopen position (designed for smoke evacuation) using retention strap but I'd guess you'd be hard pressed to get it fully open for reasons given above...

As for overwing exits (Type III) there's a flight lock that will engage over a certain speed (usually at thecstart of the takeoff roll so drunky mcdrunk can't decide they want out that way either...
