The guy is 25 years old, has an IQ of 100, no learning or intellectual disabilities and no noteworthy talent in math. He passed high school math classes like algebra, geometry and trig with a moderate level of effort and a mediocre grade.
In order to escape, he has to complete the calculus sequence, real analysis, linear algebra, point set and algebraic topology and differential geometry.
He has to take a randomized written test each time that's representative of what you'd see in an average exam for the given subject in an undergraudate math program in the US.
In the pocket dimension, he doesn't age or get sick, but otherwise he's a perfectly normal human, has to eat, sleep, gets tired and loses focus, his brain and his personality works exactly as it would normally.
He can take each test as many times as he wants. He has access to the internet, he can post questions, write posts and hire tutors. He can also get access to any math book that he wants to. Can he escape?
An efficient way to change orbits. Traveling in a straight line between planets takes an unrealistic amount of fuel. So, to get to Mars for example, you leave Earth orbit, burning hard prograde relative to the solar orbit, drift for about a year and meet up with Mars on the other side of the solar system.
Of course I won't get a job at any space agencies, so I'll just use my knowledge in games like KSP and Juno.

This is something I'd like to try when I'm retired. Or well, old enough that nobody will hire me. I've always wanted to go back and learn calculus and plot my own heinemann maneuvers.
