Error E-801809A8 when trying to update to 5.05

Hi there.

So Ive just remembered Ive been storing away a PS4 with a faulty Blue Ray drive since OFW 4.05. So Im trying to JB it but im getting error E-801809A8 when trying to do so via USB stick.
A little research and it in fact seems to be related to the faulty Blu Ray Drive which I have no means of fixing.

I'm gutted

Any patch/workaround for this?

If not, would 4.55 JB method work and what are the implications...
