The default permission (RH 8.0) for /dev/cdrom is 300. As long as I
am the user, making it 777 does not make any difference in this case.

Aloha,
I haven't played much with this or any other cdripper, but... I
recall that default permissions on my cdrom drive have caused me
trouble in the past. Making the cdrom chmod 777 when combined with
an appropriate set of permissions in the fstab file fixed all my
troubles without having to suid any programs. For my own purposes,
this was a better solution than fixing all the programs. Essentially
the only security change I had to worry about was physical access to
the cdrom drive as the software remained the same. Could this or
something similar work for cdparanoia? {I don't have a cd burner, or
I'd try it myself. }
