Have you tried applying the redo logs?
Oracle cannot, due to the controlfile issues

Then specify the redo logs, rather than archive logs

You may get lucky and not need the redo log with the corrupt header.

A colleague and I have restored 3 production databases this year using that
method,
and I've used it a few times in the pas as well.

Two of those emergency restores subsequently became clients.  :)
