What force is required at the top of the cantilever side of the door to pull it back into spec? (use a small scale and rope and pull as straight as you can. That is, at and along the top from the right of the door.)
Maybe that measurement should be taken with a little more weight at the cantilever end.
Put a straight edge along the bottom of the floor and measure how much deformation is across the entire length -vs- localized to right at the door.
What sort of structure will be behind the wall in the corner between the door and cantilever? Can we design it to carry load to the floor?
What is the depth across the bottom of the door and how is the load carried across it?
Can you put a 2x12 along the bottom on the door side and clamp in the center of the door until it touches the 2by and pull the top back into spec?
