[Monkey's Paw] If you manage to be really specific, can you escape the Monkey's Paw "curse"?

Not really, no, that's not the way language works. It is impossible to make statements that can't be twisted, because communication relies on two partners that use context clues to gain an understanding of what the other person tries to convey. Without that, you can basically cram any interpretation into any sentence.

The twist in the original story isn't even creative or clever. It's obvious that the person wishing for money doesn't wants their relatives to die. Anybody using language the way it was intended should be aware of that, and it shouldn't be neccisary to say that. But because the monkeys paw is out to fuck people over, it simply ignores the actual meaning of the words that got said, and creates a situation that might seem like it fulfils the wording, but ignores the implicit assumptions people are making to meaningfully communicate.
