What style bins/tubs are the eggs in? Any air exchange besides opening the lid once a week?

No air. 6 qt regular sterlite tubs!

U should be able to feel them moving at this point. Temps are a little high for my taste. Shoot the eggs with a heat gun and see what the egg temp actually is. Humidity may not be what you think it is as well. You do not need the vermiculite when you use the light diffusers. Just enough water to cover your first difuser (be careful of water sloshing around).
Honest, I only need one more ...

If the veins are red they are not dead. Yet... Check the temps. The eggs run hotter than the ambient. Getting rid of the vermiculite will raise your humidity.

At 40 days they look ok, some eggs will dimple faster than others and some not at all.
One of the key and I have said that for years is to stop messing with eggs and people just cannot help themselves, no opening the tub no taking them out, every time people do moisture gets out.
Eggs do not need to be aired out before the very last week of incubation and only every other day if at that.
I have actually hatch animals from eggs that were not aired out at all in 60 days and they were fine too.

They are fine - leave them alone.
I have a lot of eggs that look much much worse and will hatch without issue.

The reason I was worried is that because the shell is hard!
UI am really thankful to all of you guys especially to @jordan for detailed instructions. I wont touch them until the 4th
