My question was aimed at the "not able to spend from that hardware wallet itself" as I heard about an instance where one alt was DNS for a few days from a known issue, with the software, for the hardware wallet which was fixed later by the company. So this is more of a case where none of the hardware wallets from that company would work due to a software issue. Buying a new piece of hardware would not have fixed this issue after importing seeds.
Then you can buy a hardware wallet from a different company which uses different software which is not bugged. Or if all hardware wallets are affected, you can use a new hardware wallet to transfer your 14 other coins to a brand new wallet, and then import your old seed phrase which now only contains that particular bugged altcoin in to the software of that particular altcoin in order to spend it.Or a better option is not to buy shitcoins which are so buggy you can't even spend them.
