Corrupt Word documents on a USB stick are generally not recoverable by any means. You may be able to use some recovery software that reads the USB memory directly, but even that's not guaranteed to produce anything useful. Failing that, you'll need to restore your dissertation from your latest backup and re-create whatever's been lost.
