He only needs for it to work long enough to get some data off the drive,
assuming he can.

It would be absolute stupidity to then try and use the resulting
"kludged up" drive for 'production' purposes.

If the data is worth something, it may also be worth trying a data
recovery service like the guys that presented at TLUG a few months ago.
