OK, a search shows this solution.

OS based image - failed, broken pipe
OS based clone - failed, broken pipe
CD based clone - failed, broken pipe
CD based image - works (but who knows how well) , enable ignore errors

By using the CD, you can convert your drive to an MRIMG.

After the MRIMG completes, you then restore it to
the second hard drive.

This will require storage for the MRIMG, plus
the new drive you are copying to, for the restoration.
A total of two disks, or one disk via File Sharing,
plus your second disk for the actual restore.

To be honest with you, I would be quite surprised if this works.
It's unlikely that just one software situation works properly
and the others don't. Doesn't make sense. Two out of four
combos should work.

If this doesn't work, it would be time to use a competing backup
software, or use gddrescue from a Linux LiveCD.

If I had the proper "broken" drive to test this, I would
have tried it by now. I have dead drives, but they no longer
respond, so I can't use those for test. And the "spongy" hard
drives are still CRC error free, so I can't use those either.
It takes "just the right conditions" to reproduce your
problem, and I have no simulator here for it (when doing
fault simulation, you can use things such as error simulators
to test that software works properly).
