John Aki Is “I will resort everything I could to get it done” a correct sentence, please? You would "resort to" everything, if "resort" was proper there, but it is not. It denotes insufficiency.

That isn't right. We resort to a thing, and also you have mixed up the tenses "will" and "could". Even with the tense issue fixed, "resort to everything I can" seems slightly awry to me. I would say:

"I will resort to everything possible (in order) to get it done."
