Answer 1

Any low level hack to do this may result in a thread crashing, file corruption or etc.

Hence I thought I'd mention the next best thing, just wait your turn and poll until the file is not locked: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11060322/495455

I dont think this 2nd advice will help but the closest thing (that I know of) would be DemandReadFileIO:

IntSecurity.DemandReadFileIO(filename);

internal static void DemandReadFileIO(string fileName) 
{
   string full = fileName;            
   full = UnsafeGetFullPath(fileName); 
   new FileIOPermission(FileIOPermissionAccess.Read, full).Demand();
}
