Unfortunately I don't believe there's an alternative in this scenario, because the /2/files/copy_v2 endpoint only supports the Dropbox-API-Select-Admin header in the "Team Admin" mode, meaning it has access to "team folders and team spaces but not the team members' home namespaces". So, when you administratively access contents the account doesn't have access to, you can't simultaneously access the user account's home folder.
