In my pre-BAR period, I had a two X 18mm Saturn 1B (don't recall the manufacturer - got the kit at the Kennedy Space Center circa 1980) that left the pad on 1 motor. Turned cruise missile off the rod and flew towards a little knoll. The second motor came up to pressure late and turned the nose up so that it hit broadside, parallel to the slope. Didn't even break the escape tower.
Last year, my Titan IIIe modded for powered, pop-off boosters, suffered a CATO in the port booster. Kept flying. Then the starboard booster failed to separate and clung to the core until apogee and separation. Total damage: one broken shock cord from the dangling I separated booster nose cone and 2 of 8 booster attachment lugs torn loose.
