Blendshapes not importing into Unity

Hi, I'm trying to import blendshapes from Maya into Unity. But it's not working.

 

I messed up my mesh. I made some modifications to it while I was weight painting and animating it, thinking that if worse comes to worse, I could always just export the weight maps and start fresh. Well now I'm stuck because I messed up my mesh so badly that exporting the weight maps gives me a "Failed to export the attribute map." error. (Yes, I reset the userprefs).

 

If I unbind the skin and rebind using a clean mesh I duplicated for blendshapes, everything works perfectly. I can import it into Unity no problem and blendshapes work. However, that would mean losing my painted weights and re-doing the weight painting process would really suck so I'm hoping someone can give me a solution. 

 

Here are the inputs that are messing up my mesh: (body is just a layer, blendshape1 is just the blendshapes, skinCluster1 is created when binding the skin I believe so that just leaves tweak3, tweak1, and the most suspicious parallelBlender.)

How can I clean up this mesh without deleting the History or Non-Deformer History (neither works, it turns the mesh green and unbinds it from the skeleton) without losing my weight painting?

You can try duplicating the mesh and coping skin weight directly from the original.
