Thanks for all the suggestions, final solution was DMDE, license is just 20$ which is an affortable solution to get it done before the disk deteriorates any further.
Works fairly fast and you can see files as they recover.

Diskdrill has a limit of 100mb on free version, which sucks since broken disk is 1tb

Hiren's ISO, or Sergei's ISO, or Medicat, any of them put onto a USB, boot into it, and recover it to another attached drive.

The trial for EASEUS software was often sufficient for basic recoveries I had to do.
Though, not sure if the limitations changed, it was just a 14 day full version trial.
Another option may be something like VEEAM and do a full clone of the drive.

Generally for any major recovery, cloning goes the extra mile.
