Any last-ditch tricks you'd try if your Xbox absolutely will not read a disc?

I have a copy of Deadpool for Xbox One that absolutely won't read in any way when I put it in. Like it won't even show any on screen acknowledgement that a disc has been inserted. I assume if I tried to shove a PS2 disc smeared in peanut butter in there it'd at least say "Hey, this seems like some kind of disc but idk what you want me to do with this", but this Deadpool disc is giving me \*nothing\*.

The drive takes it in and ejects it as if it senses something in it, but when the disc is inserted it seems to just try to spin it very intermittently and give up. When I eject it it appears to have spun at least somewhat.

All other discs read fine. This disc \*looks\* okay to the naked eye but as I understand it there can be minor defects in the label that cause issues. I have no original case so I have no indication of compatibility other than the Xbox One banner and an ESRB rating that I assume means it's a US region game as it should be.

Unfortunately I got this disc second hand at a local store over a year ago, maybe two, and have only recently actually tried using it. So if they sold me a busted disc it's not like I can bring it back to them now.

So- any absolute hail mary moves y'all would try in this scenario? Or should I make peace with having a Deadpool coaster in my collection? 🥀 Any advice or condolences would be much appreciated.
