Lets say someone who is in good shape burns 3000 calories on a day, but he only eats 2000 calories, can he still get stronger from the workout, if not, will eating more the next day help

You must be talking about me lately. I used to take down 2200 a day while needing 2800 from exercise + size. Soon enough I gained so much muscle over the past few months that eating 2000-2200 a day fails to keep me well maintained, muscularly speaking. I tried to work out today after resting for 50 hours... no luck, I felt weak as hell because my muscles needed the extra nourishment to go full steam ahead and get fully recovered even though I take down 240g of protein per day. I guess I need like 2500 cal a day now to keep it up with the muscle anabolism, because otherwise I don't see how I'll continue on lifting. Now I understand this bulking/cutting business. No full steam ahead = no strength gains.

it might not be protein. weakness is more likely caused by lack of enough carbs. protein builds muscle but does not do a lot to fuel them

No I know. I mentioned the protein just to dispel the myth about it being the end-all of muscle recovery. I take in way beyond the necessary amount of protein, and if that didn't do it, it really goes to show I need more carbs/calories.

as a one day deficit its not a major issue and actual strength (not size) gains will be derived primarily through the CNS. don't try to compensate by adjusting the next day.

over an extended period of time, however, such a large calorie deficit would likely take said person to a dead halt in progress
