And if you want to double read zeikher/zekher, the words,

first because you are then going to "correct the error" by 
reading it the wrong way the second time.

If your megilla is an Ashkenazi one with the incorrect 
bivneihem/laharog, correct yourself by repeating. If your 
megilla is correct, there isn't much in read as written and 
then "correct" with the incorrect. There would be even less 
sense in reading incorrectly first  and then correct by 
reading as it is written.

CM notes:

That sort of makes sense if you approach this with a correction model - the latter reading being the correction. Of course if you know the right and the wrong of it, then why bother with the wrong at all? This approach makes sense for the bal korei who makes a real mistake and then repeats with true correction, but not much sense here.

On the other hand if you approach this with a safek model - with both readings being al tenai that the correct one counts, then the order of the two readings should not matter at all!
