I've patient - WD20EARX-00PASB0.
The H0 head is damaged due to the damaged surface.
Can I hot swap in such a situation?
How to read the SA modules from the patient needed for a hot swap?

Try accessing H1 SA.
If all goes well, you may simply do a HM in ram and have it detected without a need of transplant or swap.
To do HM for such a drive is a generic procedure/protocol(unless you know how to figure that out ). :)
