If it wont help try to find out which rows lead to the failure, and
copy your data from this table to a new one with the same structure
filtering this rows. Then drop the old one and rename the new one. You
might also need to drop all the FKs preliminary before doing this and
restore them after.

To find out which rows are bad use manual binary search
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_search_algorithm) by PK.

To copy data use CREATE TABLE newone (LIKE ...) and then INSERT INTO
newone SELECT ... WHERE id NOT IN (...).
