I have no idea if this will help or not, but the man page talks about a
'-S' switch that lets you set the speed of the drive.  You might try
playing with this.  40X is awfully fast, and I know that EAC slows down
the drive when it encounters an error.

P.S.  Be happy.  At least cdparanoia is actually reporting errors on
      your system.  On mine it doesn't report any errors, but I get
      tracks that sound like a Rice Krispies commercial.
