There is no other way to access the eMMC, except desoldering it and reading it externally. But it is still fixable without the eMMC contents.
You would need to install defuse (you already have the pico), which would give us an entry point from where we can rebuild a fresh MLC.
What problems did you have with the NAND AID, why couldn't you install that?
EDIT: oh because you already soldered the slot. If you can glue it in position and can solder the data signals, you can get GND from the cap on the right side and connect ti to the GND pad on the NAND aid.
For reference that's how my defused test wii u looks. I also made sure the shortes wire is the thicker yellow GND wire, which I soldered to an anchor joint of the USB ports, sot that takes all the stress if pulled on the pico.
Also you need to remove the screews from the heatsink to access the test pads. The heatsink wil probably hold on due to the adhesion of the thermal pad. Just leave the heatsink on, don't try to remove it.

Because I couldn't see anything, everything was a blur. I have a very good magnifying glass, but it was too difficult to solder with it. I thought it would be easier with wrapping wires, and I didn't have too much trouble soldering them one by one, checking each time with my magnifying glass. And when I got to the last one (as always) the CLK popped...
I'll be doing some research over the weekend to fully understand the "defuse" technique, but we have family this weekend.
But.... apparently MLCRestorerDownloader doesn't work ... or I'm making a mistake. I've searched and no one says there's a problem, so I'm going to ask here.
This is what it does to me, and then the program closes (I don't know what to put)
