Hacking a CD writer for error ignorance

I was wanting to burn a CD full of data, but not have the process stop even
if there are huge errors (such as a piece of tape on the disc). I gather
that the error detection is built into the drives themselves, and so was
wondering if anyone knew of a hardware hack to circumvent it.

Failing a more delicate solution, is there anyway to jam the write laser on
and have the whole disc spin past it? Future usability of the drive is not
an issue.

What happens when you stick a thick paper clip into the hole on the front to
force an eject? I haven't done this nor had a need to. I suspect the disc
would still be spinning and possibly damage the lens on the laser head.

I don't want to eject the disc in the middle of an operation. I just want
the disc to keep spinning and the laser to keep firing, even if it thinks
there is no disc in there or that it is damaged.

I believe 2 Seconds in a micrwave renders them un-readible
