I suspect given how recent the theory behind stcrreg is, any
extensions to multiple failure would be novel territory. I'd be
tempted to run multiple stcrreg analyses; one for the first failure,
another for the second, etc. It's downgrading your data, but at least
you'll be on solid statistical ground.

This might also be useful, although a totally different approach it
might still address your study aims.
