Below are the two options that have saved me from critical recovery scenarios..
1) _allow_resetlogs_corruption=TRUE
I've already used it to open a pseudo standby database, we have some
missing archivelogs and we really have to open the database for some
DR testing. Well for me that's a failure, but on the client side they
just want the database to be opened. So if this is a prod database,
well you can do a full EXP then rebuild your database.
2) Event 10231
which causes full table scans to skip corrupt blocks. Had a client
that got a block corruption on the SOURCE$ table (internal table for
DBA_SOURCE view) running on Ebiz 11.5.10. We can't pull the data out
through RMAN or EXPDP, can't even do BLOCKRECOVER because the
archivelogs are already deleted. So we have to set this event, then do
a full EXP, recreate the database, then full IMP. There were some
invalid objects on the APPS schema, luckily they are not using the
modules affected.
