Dave, you might want to try a paid program called IsoBuster.
I used to have a license for it many years ago, and it was astounding
the files it would recover from badly damaged media.
I haven't used it in a while but compared to all the other recovery
programs I've tried, you might as well get one of the free ones they all
do the same thing.
IsoBuster bypasses the OS routines for reading files off a drive and
goes straight to the hardware to attempt to read whatever data might be
on a CD or DVD.
Unfortunately for all it's capabilities, it only runs under Windows, and
IIRC you're running some flavor of MacOS, so you'll probably have to use
an emulator, it's supposed to work with those, but I have no experience
there.

Dave if you have a different player, try that for the ones that couldn't
be read. I've had some that refused to be read on 2 of my players and when
tried in a 3rd - someone else's computer - they read fine!
Good idea
Dave
