Well, cdparanoia is specifically designed to work with these CDs and
this is why I use it.  Perhaps you just didn't wait for it to finish,
or maybe newer versions are better.  Other programs will take the
errors and just ignore them; cdparanoia will get a higher-quality
output because it will get correct data even in the face of many such
errors.

You need more useless facts, like a database of prime numbers and pi
digits.  *cough*
