The sentence needs a modal that combines naturally with hardly to mean was barely able to. Could hardly take his help fits this idiomatic sense of inability. Ought and might do not collocate with hardly here, and should hardly carries a different flavour of unlikely or ought not to, which is less natural in a simple statement about past reluctance.
