I think this may qualify for the longest follow up on a question to BBLISA
:-) but...  After setting this project aside for a while and just
revisiting it last week, I did find a cheap tool ($5) that is available
(for immediate online download after paypal payment).  I was able to
read/extract all the mail from my corrupt dbx file (into ~6000 .eml files,
one per msg).  They I could drag/drop them into a new Outlook mailbox.  The
tool is:

Hope this helps someone else...
