You can just add the busybox commands from the main and/or diags partitions to the search path and use them. Or you can install another busybox. Those tend to be a lot smaller than the individual commands that they replace.
You can mount diags like this:
mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/mmc
And then use commands in /mnt/mmc/bin ...
Busybox commands can be executed with named symlinks to busybox, using the command name as the first parameter, such as:
busybox dd if= ...
instead of
dd if= ...
