[Die Hard/Ocean’s 11] Could’ve Danny Ocean’s crew pulled off the Nakatomi Plaza heist in a non-violent way?

Something I’ve always wondered about these these two series is of the Ocean’s crew could pull off the heists in the Die Hard movies in a typical non violent manner. Ocean’s crew normally give back generously to the people they involve in their heists, whereas most Die Hard villains just kill innocent people all the time. 

Could the Ocean’s crew pull off the same heist, but not hurt anyone? Or is violence the only way to get that vault open?

Absolutely. They would socially engineer the entire thing and infiltrate Nakatomi at all levels.

They could discover Takagi's password through subterfuge or simply placing a camera above his desk. The tech guys would brute force opens the other locks.

For the magnetic seal, they'd make mock videos of a terrorist takeover. Cops would show up and set up a perimeter. Then Danny and maybe Rusty or Linus would pose as FBI agents. They'd take over the operation from the LAPD and order the power grid down.

When the SWAT team finally bursts in, they'd find the Nakatomi Christmas party in full swing and Holly and Takagi would be confused, saying there were never any terrorists.  Dwayne T. Robinson would be left scratching his head at what happened.

The funny thing is that McClane would probably be an antagonist in this. He'd know Danny from his time working RICO in NY. He's jealous of him flirting with his wife and when he sees him at the party, he'd know something was up. He'd spend his time sleuthing, trying to figure out what Ocean is up to, and then get caught flat-footed when the other cops show up.
