@cauhmed’s suggestion above may also work if you can build the gyro low enough, however the gyro may glitch once you reach another island.
You mentioned you tried all the workarounds so if switching off animals or crouching to try get interactions in the lowest part of the door didn’t work…while it’s unconfirmed by others, Seg4me’s workaround of dropping the paddle from the life raft (if you still have it nearby) may be worth trying - [2071] Potential bug cause
