Each and every car is different in if it is possible to remove the door panel with closed door or not.
Try the best you can by using the key in the door lock and pull on the lock rod and hope you can overcome the stuck lock motor force.
That will make your day so much easier.
If that doesn't work you have to try to get all the bolts out that you can reach and see if you can lift off the door panel from the window sill and gain enough access to pull on something inside the door.
I have not had to force my way in on that particular model so I can't say if it is feasible to remove the door panel completely with a closed door.
I had to do a Volvo S70 recently where I had to break the whole lock mechanism into small pieces through the window slit and upper hole in door skin with the door panel bent inwards to reach the very inner sanctuary and release the latch mechanism for the door latch. That was a several hours body aching task.
