Of course, the problem with individual VCC/GND pins for
each diode is that you will need 3 pins per terminated
bus line. That's not very good density, and you
indicated that you had little room to spare.
Here's a thought: you could try using the protection
diodes already built into some other existing part to solve
your problem. Try using a multiple-input
device (like a multiplexor) that has multiple
VCC and GND pins, or is packaged in a much smaller
package than a SIP, and has good protection diodes.
Just connect it in parallel with your bad receiver.
A multiplexor part has a lot of inputs and wastes only
one pin as an output.
