IMHO - no.

To "password recovery":
It seems it's simply dictionary and/or brute force attack, not using any
algorithm weakness.

To "removing various types of document protection":
That's easy, because something like a read-only (or protected) cell or
text section is of course not encrypted.
It's just a flag in the document, and an application might ignore it, or
some tool might remove it from the XML stream.

So the tool is nothing I really worry about, but what about user perception?
