I am currently serving a 10 yr ban, as many young and ill-informed travelers, I overstayed on the VWP. I am making no excuses for that and accept the consequences. I live in Australia and wish to meet up with some friends in Cancun for a break, the problem is I can not find a flight which does not transit the US.
Does anyone know if it is possible to obtain a C-1 visa to transit , even if a 10 yr ban is in place? I understand I am not able to obtain any other visa, however as I am not asking to stay etc and there is NO other way around, is this possible/probable?

I was denied entry in HNL last year as I did not know I was banned, however, they did parole me for the duration of my stay in Hawaii for a period of 7 days.

I am not trying to abuse the system etc, just want to go to Mexico.

Any help would be appreciated.

The 10-year bar is for admission in any non-immigrant category, which includes C-1. There is a workaround where one can get paroled, but I wouldn't count on it. That was your one freebie, I'd bet.
