there is no way how to do that. While you can recount thermodynamic
functions manually after having obtaining frequencies, I'd not recommend
doing so. Indeed, the mode with small imaginary frequency requires
a separate investigation. It is quite possibly that it is actually
a (real) low-frequency vibration and so its contribution to thermodynamic
functions cannot be neglected. What I would suggest is to perform
hessian calculation increasing their overall precision (i.e. using
tightened ICUT, nconv, set nvib=2 etc... etc...)

Kind regards,
Alex Granovsky
