> You can dig through the wall on its side with a pickaxe or a drill.  
> And you might be able to send an NPC to loot the place, as this opens **all** doors (last I checked the code), but I’m not sure if that is fully implemented yet or how to do that.

As for blasting through it; it probably destroyes whatever’s behind the door, so apply with care.
