I would mdadm -S /dev/md0 mdadm -Af /dev/md0 /dev/sd[bdef]1 fsck -nf /dev/md0 and if it looks good mount /dev/md0 copy off any data that you can that you cannot live without. Then stop the array mdadm -S /dev/md0 and copy sdd to sdc with dd-rescue When that completes, assemble the array with mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sd[bcef]1 fsck -nf /dev/md0 and then if it looks good mdadm --zero /dev/sdd1 mdadm /dev/md0 --add /dev/sdd1 and with luck it will successfully rebuild sdd1 and you will have redundancy again.
