How to recover a damaged Word document?

Handy Recovery recovered several deleted Word files, but when they are opened, the error "Cannot open the *.docx file due to errors in its content" appears.

Regular Word recovery methods cannot help, methods from Microsoft ( https://docs.microsoft.com/ru-ru/office/troublesho... also did not help.
Various online services and recovery programs did not work either.

How I’m considering the latest option with HEX editors in order to pull out at least some part of the text, but before delving into this difficult question, I wanted to clarify with more competent people - is there any sense and any chance that it will be possible to parse the structure of the recovered file?

Very unlikely.
Try to restore them as damaged zip archives, because Word files are what they are.
You won't be able to extract anything with a HEX editor because the text is compressed.
