The problem is when all that a certain majority agrees on is that
there's someone whom they don't want to elect

D- Not a problem.  The majority can just vote NO on folks that they do not 
want to elect (in the same manner that a majority can just vote NO on ballot 
proposals that they do not want to be enacted into law).

That is, my suggested--

YES/NO vote on each candidate
majority NO candidates lose and the place votes for them move up on the 
ballots involved;
if 2 or more get YES majorities, then they go head to head;
if there is no head to head winner (i.e. no Condorcet winner), then sum the 
numbers of place votes (1st, 2nd, etc.) until the first/ highest majority 
happens.
