My old man has a bunch of .dox stuff saved. He has complicated large files saved that are not supported by any of the FOSS conversion tools. I've tried Libre office, Abi Word, and every command line tool and converter I can find. These are entire book sized files.

I have a W10 machine with Word. Is extracting the .exe and running it with wine feasible without making an epic mess or massive project of this?

Too many documents and Office 365 is a $10 month sub scam.

You don't have to keep the sub. Pay $10, convert the files, unsubscribe.

Dont buy Office 365, just use the Office live.com. Yes, Microsoft are reusing their live.com.

It is free, I use it for dealing with résumés.
