Don't think it is impossible to do a pivot such as that one on the calmini sliders. They are not flush against the body they do stick out some just not as much as the eoe sliders. While you may not be able to pivot off a pole that is as high as the widest point of your door, you can pivot off smaller rocks. It is hard to tell on that angle but it is possible the calmini sliders would have allowed you to do the same move. Although since they essentially give you a bit more maneuvering room down at that level you might have been able to squeeze by with less pivoting.
