Shaking the external drive to bypass read errors

I'm currently in the process of burning my Jojo's Bizarre bluray collection. Just today I opened a sealed copy of set 3 and began ripping. Immediately, I started getting Feeling very disheartened, I began shaking my external drive. To my surprise the error changed to a different offset. So I've been sitting here shaking the drive every time there's an error. The output size has been slowly going up so it doesn't feel completely hopeless. I'm curious if I should continue doing this or give up. I have not explanation for why shaking it works or if it will actually result in me getting my JoJo file.
