Malformed database and saving Kobo stats

A family member of mine has a Kobo Nia which I help her manage with Calibre. Recently, she plugged it in and received this error:

Code:
calibre, version 5.18.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

CorruptError: database disk image is malformed

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "calibre\gui2\device.py", line 89, in run
  File "calibre\gui2\device.py", line 515, in _books
  File "calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 1875, in books
  File "calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 2967, in get_bookshelflist
apsw.CorruptError: CorruptError: database disk image is malformed
No idea what's been done since the last time I checked it or how this happened.

Upon searching, it seems like she has to log out and back in to set the device up again... but I would like some way to avoid her losing her reading time stats, saved dictionary words, annotations, and bookmarks. Everything is sideloaded, by the way. Is there a way I can fix this for her? I really hope so; she's become invested in stuff like hours read and likes her annotations.

The ereader itself seems just fine, other than the inability to remove collections from within the device interface (long press and delete does nothing).
