Salvation and redemption is offered to all without exception. The "sheep" become "sheep" by their own choice, to believe and repent of their sins, and keep his commandments.
Sorry No
Sheep is not a meaning of all or every man
Heb. 2:9 —KJV
“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”
2 Corinthians 5:14–15 (KJV 1900)
14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
1 Timothy 2:3–6 (KJV 1900)
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time
Why do you not believe the word of God ?
Do you imagine your theology more important ?

That's wrong and never heard of. Christ is always the Shepherd and so. when his death is referenced it's for the Sheep.

Referring to the Sheep
Mere mindless repetition
all and everyman does not have sheep for a definition
Heb. 2:9 —KJV
“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”
2 Corinthians 5:14–15 (KJV 1900)
14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
1 Timothy 2:3–6 (KJV 1900)
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time

The repetition is needed. Christ died for the Sheep, because Hes the Shepherd. Jn 10:11
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. Exclusively !
Sorry the word exclusively does not appear in the text
You are adding to scripture
while ignoring what else it does state
Heb. 2:9 —KJV
“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”
2 Corinthians 5:14–15 (KJV 1900)
14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

It's meant. It's clear as day
Care to prove it
and then explain why it is contrary to
Heb. 2:9 —KJV
“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”
2 Corinthians 5:14–15 (KJV 1900)

Who did Jesus specifically say that He died for here In 10:11,15
Who did the bible say Jesus died for here
Heb. 2:9 —KJV
“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”

that would of course include all mentioned in John 10

You scared. Who did Jesus specifically say that He died for in Jn 10:11,15
A part of all that he died for
which incidentally did not include unbelievers opposed to God
Heb. 2:9 —KJV
“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”

Christ wasn't only a part Shepherd. He was always the same Shepherd of the Sheep and that's who He died for in particular
Christ died for all
Heb. 2:9 —KJV
“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”

They that lived are but a portion of all that Christ died for
> they which live
Why are you loathe to believe what God has stated ?

Yes He died for all the Sheep
Again you tout your theology while ignoring the word of God
Heb. 2:9 —KJV
“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”
1 Timothy 2:3–6 (KJV 1900)

Easy. All the Sheep
Sheep do not appear in the passage
