Rules for using を particle with intransitive verbs

While watching an episode of Frieren, I could have sworn I heard フリーレン様 say

>面倒臭いから、この町を出るよ。

I did some research and found that you *can* use the direct object marker を with intransitive verbs like 出る, it’s just a more “colloquial” expression, albeit not grammatically standard.

Are there any other common expressions or idioms where を is used with intransitive verbs? Is there any pattern or logic that governs when it’s appropriate to do this? For example, could one also say

>この町を入った

in casual speech?

EDIT: is it wrong to say

>この町が出るよ

I prefer to be grammatically consistent :).

EDIT: Yes it is.
