I think you had it right when you mentioned that you should redesign the interface. There are many threads, especially on the forum, debating the merits of live validation of user input as opposed to anything else at all.
I always, always recommend never letting invalid data be typed or pasted, whatever, into a field where such data will break something down the road. Rewrite. I bet is not too onerous a task.
