I've been having a bunch of issues recently with ripping UHD discs. It had initially seemed like it might be specific discs at issue, but I'm now thinking the issue may be the drive itself. Most discs have ripped fine over the last few weeks, but a couple have been nonstop problems, Dunkirk UHD has been the worst example, and I've tried 5 different discs all with similar effects. I'm guessing at this point the only thing to do is try a new drive, but I'm hoping to get confirmation one way or another. Non-UHD discs have been fine.
You can try cleaning the lenses. But I think the error should occur with all discs if the lenses are dirty.
Basically some 3-layer discs could cause errors with the LG drives. I used my first 4k friendly drive (LG) for about two years without problems and then arrived the 4k Middle Earth Collection Box ...... Since this time I've a Pioneer drive for difficult discs as second drive.
Would I have it right that if Blu-rays are working generally, just UHD isn't consistently that would mean it's likely the issue with 3 layers discs and not a drive issue fixable by getting another of the same model?
Just gave a shot cleaning it, but first effort already failed.
Edit:
Also the movie that's been giving me, and Amazon by extension, the most grief is apparently 2 layer.

Wash the discs with liquid soap and warm water. Rinse and dry with paper towels. Wipe with a microfiber cloth as used for cleaning glasses.
That was step one haha, and outside of Dunkirk it seemed to work. That said, I've now got a pile of about 5 discs that haven't been successful cleaning or not.
Dunkirk I'm on disc 5 trying to get it going, and then to a lesser degree I've been hitting roadblocks with:
Justice League
AntMan and the Wasp
Infinity War
Sin City 2
The Expendables 1,2,3
I'm not seeing a commonality, and a number of the discs are brand new.
Try two post cleaning and it looks to be on its way to failing again:

The optical drive is unable to correctly read a spot on the disc. The standard advice is to gently clean the disc and try again.
I'm open to the idea that I'm doing something wrong in my cleaning, but I'm also on the 6th of these discs, they are all exhibiting the same errors, and that seems a bit unlikely to be cleaning as the root cause. Same disc, pulled it out, cleaned it with soap and water and then a DVD cleaning spray, restarted the computer, and now it's getting the following error not 2 minutes into reading, whereas last time it made it to something like 40 of 44gb.
I'm US based, I've done some window shopping, but beyond the pre-flashed ones listed here, I've had a hard time finding a good candidate drive. I'd definitely appreciate any guidance.
I've been having a bunch of issues recently with ripping UHD discs. It had initially seemed like it might be specific discs at issue, but I'm now thinking the issue may be the drive itself. Most discs have ripped fine over the last few weeks, but a couple have been nonstop problems, Dunkirk UHD has been the worst example, and I've tried 5 different discs all with similar effects. I'm guessing at this point the only thing to do is try a new drive, but I'm hoping to get confirmation one way or another. Non-UHD discs have been fine.
