Try reading the thing raw with dd:

# dd if=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1 | xxd

Should display the MBR, if no error then I'd suggest reading the three
partitions detected at boot

# dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=~/stuck-stick-1

repeat for 2 and 4, you must have some idea how the thing is organised?

See what you get, all this is guess-work as I've yet to play with a
USB stick. Working until recently? Forget to unmount prior to removal
in windows? Surprise removal will break them sooner.
