You could apply local contrast or equalizer with 'darken' merge mode to avoid blowing out highlights; you can even use multiple instances and add parametric masks so you use 'normal' merge mode for midtones, and 'darken' for highlights. Posting the NEFs would allow us to play with them. I'd start with disabling everything (going to the base image, with perhaps input colour and orientation left on), use exposure to get it mostly right (no or little clipping), then start playing with the other tools. Base curves often blow out pictures.
