[The Matrix] Can a strong-willed but otherwise normal person resist being taken over by an agent?

From the movies we can assume agents can't take over red-pilled people because they never do, but is that just a technological block and they can just take over anyone else connected to the Matrix? What about Guts from Berserk or Eren Jaeger, or John Wick for non-weebs? Can they take over those people instantly with zero effort? 

Scenario 1: Strong willed person doesn't see it coming or expects it.

Scenario 2: They know it's a district possibility.

Scenario 3: They know exactly when it will happen and can prepare for it. 

Same question applies for Agent Smith's cloning ability in the later movies, as well as Neil Patrick Harris's control in Resurrections.

I don't think strength of will matters in this regard. The danger is being plugged into the Matrix, so as long as you have the wire going from your head to the Machine mainframe there's literally nothing you can do if they sideline your brain in order to overwrite it with an Agent. 

Red-pill people are patching into the Matrix through their ship systems, so there's no connection to big green for the machine minds to take over. 

Agent Smith takeover ability doesn't seem to be resisted by anything, even more powerful programs and redpill humans - so far only Neo managed to fight it off, which leaves me to assume that you need to have actual superpowers to resist it. 

Watching Resurrectons led me to believe that activated humans by NPH are not actually real humans, but NPCs running to pad up the simulation, which is why they just can be switched on with a snap.
