You're overcomplicating this. Living eggs have an immune system well able to handle mold. In my experience (been breding corns since the early 80s), if an egg develops mold it is already too late to save that egg. Certainly drying out the clutch is unlikely to help, and, as you've seen, may be dangerous to the remaining live eggs.
A moldy egg should be removed carefully from the others if possible, and discarded. That said, usually if it is impossible to remove the dead egg, the others will still hatch without problems.
