      Try not to use a bowl, but a running tap. With a bowl a small layer of warm water might form around and in between the eggs, preventing the egg from cooling down fast enough. Which is probably why people tend to use ice baths, to get that initial shock as big as possible. In my experience a running tap for 10 secs does the trick.

      But sometimes eggs are just cursed, not much you can do about those.
