Strategy for Rider/Berserker BP3 with a Caster-heavy team

So far in this event I've had reasonably solid results running two Wavers(mine is currently 5/8/3), Hans(1/2/1), Mash(6/3/3), and Cu Chulainn(2/8/1) with Jack(10/1/8) as a main DPS. Today, I'm finding that the Rider minions are killing my Casters too fast for me to survive the full 15 turns. Presumably, I'll hit the same snag on the Berserker days, although they should be much easier to AOE down with Santa Salter or something. If I burn Jack's NP turns on clearing the hands, I run a real risk of losing her to Ibaraki damage before she can knock out 1.5 million DP. I'm F2P and short on ascension and skill materials, so maxing out additional support servants like Georgios or Shuten-Douji isn't super realistic for me. Should I grab a friend's Shuten to help nuke the minions? What's been working for y'all?
I realize that I'm not likely to clear 300mil DP, but I'm hoping to get as many materials as I can.
My current lineup goes Jack, Hans, my Waver, support Waver, Mash, Cu. It pulls 2-3 million DP on average, focusing on survival once I've cleared the 1.5mil threshold to make 3BP worth it.
Other event-relevant Servants I own and have at high/max levels include Vlad(7/4/2), Karna(85, 1/4/3), Heracles(NP2, 10/2/1, no bond CE), and Robin(6/2/-).

I honestly got discouraged with the rider hands so I'm just spending today farming gourds instead of aiming for 6 mil since I know the hands will kill my supports before I can stall for 15 turns.

Nuking the arms is a good idea. Have AoEs like Shuten, Karna or Gilgamesh in the frontline and gather NP then nuke them. Plug in ST damage dealers using the plugsuit and continue to bully Ibaraki as usual. For this to work, you need to guarantee that the hands will die quick enough that you don't die trying. Try to kill at the least the right arm before he does his charge attack.

Well, I was able to beat today's 3 BP with an (expensive) lineup of Gilgamesh, Nero Bride (I wanted to try a support Nightingale instead) & Waver (all Skills at 10), Support Waver (Just in case), Mash and Cu.

Gilgamesh, with max buff from Waver, Nero and himself and in a chain of NP from the 3 servants, can nuke the hands and deals like 1.5M to Ibaraki. The rest of the battle is classic : deal the maximum of damage and if Gilgamesh get killed, survive.
