kindle Internal Storage Bad Sectors

Recently purchased a K5 online.
long story short.
The internal memory has bad sectors about 2k of them somewhere @ the 695MB sector onwards and 3 bad sectors at the end.

is there any way to make this kindle touch work with this internal memory?
even if i can only use 650MB out of the 3.2+ available Gigs.

Some extra Details

due to the issues with the internal storage I have not been able to successfully run Kubrick on it. (At least that is what i think is the fault)
I can enter diags and what not. I can run mfgtool.exe and it boots to the main interface where i can see the device info etc except dictionaries is corrupted and i can't read the stored book. (3 folders are corrupted)
every restart, reboot/factory setting brings me back to the diags.

I have tried reformating and repartitioning the bad sector sections away but all in vain. Keep ending up and getting stuck at Movinand test failed and then i will have to reset and use mfgtool to get back to square one.
