TL:DR

Write your first draft. Then open a new document and retype word by word, fixing errors as you go.

I don't enjoy the prospect but I can't deny that this might help me pick out errors that otherwise I currently miss.

I have done this on occasion - not with entire drafts, but with scenes that have troubled me (or that weren't saved properly the first time).

It works.
