I don't think the target audience for the transliteration "Khodorkovsky"
are Russians. It's very like an English transliteration, so the argumemt
is mute.
I don't know how GOST transliterates his name. But you said, you didn't
like their system. So I cannot help you much. I fear you're tring to
invent your own system, which onyl a few people will be able to read and
pronounce correctly.
I suggest you make up your mind about the target audience: Russians,
English readers or "Google".

Please make a small record of you saying this name (and Hogwarts) and
send it to me by email. I cannot really believe that.
