I've managed to 'kick start' error reading AA/AAA batteries using a
cheap 'dumb' charger. Batteries seem to recover fine. I think they
discharge to such a point that the smart charger can't do anything with
them?

Had that with the Lidl one on once-used, not fully discharged, Eneloop Pros.
Used the 7-dayShop 'dumb' charger for a few minutes and then the Lidl one
was OK.
BTW, my Lidl charger packed up after 2 years and 10 months. e-mailed, sent
relevant details, got a new charger. Felt slightly guilty - until I realised
I'd just saved about 10 Wetherspoons pints worth.
