So far, I have been unable to rip Star Trek Beyond UHD. Hacksaw Ridge has also been fraught with errors.

You need a Pioneer drive for hard to rip discs. Check this:

Also make sure the drive gets enough USB power. Ports on the back side of a desktop are better or a powered USB hub helps. I'll give this a shot as well.
