This is similar to what I was going to say.
Could a demolition team have brought down WTC7?
Yes, I believe they could with adequate time, resources and planning.
To be honest I'm not sure they could, or would ever attempt it.
WTC7 was almost half again as tall as the tallest building ever demolished by controlled demolition, and that building had a much larger footprint making a neat controlled implosion much easier.
In contrast WTC7 was both taller and "skinnier" which are factors that make a demolition very hard. In addition WTC7 was built over a coned station which you wouldn't want a building falling on top of, and it was very close to neighbouring buildings.
