I'm with mxslick on this one.
Any Industrial Electrician reading this would be cringing like never before.
Overloads aren't installed for the sheer fun of it.
Having all and sundry have access to taking the dead-front's off of panel, would only have the effect of sooner or later someone is going to cop it.
I have to also agree with Don, closing a CB onto a decent short-circuit can result in a huge explosion.

If the original equipment design has the overloads inaccessable to unqualified persons there is a darn good reason for it.
