Hi Gene, I've seen this before, a few times. If you run #fdisk -l while 
in stretch and get error, you need to fix that first, using gparted move 
the ailing partition '1'byte, just one digit larger or smaller, if you 
have to shrink another partition, do it '2'bytes. UUID will not change 
and it will pass fdisk -l no error.  Now in wheezy see if you can mount. 
  If not you can disable the checksums. To disable checksums on an 
existing filesystem, ensure that the filesystem will pass fsck. Then 
turn off metadata_csum via tune2fs.
      #tune2fs -O ^metadata_csum /dev/path/to/disk

The above is for ext4, for repairing partition I use this with force.
          #fsck.ext4 -pvcf /dev/sdxx
