There is no built-in "out of the box" method to retrieve comments. I suspect that there are third party tools/connectors that may help (Encodian?).
That said, a docx file is a zipped xml document. You may be able to parse out the comments - here is a link to a post that might be a good place to start. It shows how to extract text. But with a little bit of experimentation, you may be able to retrieve comments.
