You can extract from the start of the file to where the corruption is.
Because of the way that gzip works, decompression depends on the
pattern of bytes you've already seen (unless hte file was compressed
with the rsync-friendly restart every n k (--rsyncable) flag.)

Try zcat file.tgz > file.tar
then tar xvf file.tar
