If the door does come all the way out of the pocket when it is closed you could cut the metal rail off when the door is all the way open. Then close door and hopefully you can remove it then. Then replace the metal rail with a new one. However this may be a bit risky if you still can’t get the door off. If you can get the door off you might consider replacing the metal rail and wheels with a UHMW plastic rail and do away with the wheels. The wood should slide easily on the UHMW. You would have to make the rail a bit taller to account for the lack of the wheels or put a thin strip of plastic in the dado where the wheels are now. Then you would have plastic on plastic for sliding the door. It should slide very nicely then.
