Looking for a word that has the meaning of “to work on something with doubled, extra effort”
Is there a word -- preferably a verb -- which has this meaning: "to work on something with doubled, extra effort"?
Ideally it should also express being desperate, not caring about the costs, willing to sacrifice absolutely anything to reach the goal.

Try using the verb strive:
VERB
1. Make great efforts to achieve or obtain something. ‘national movements were striving for independence’ (Oxford)
In the definition quoted above, the phrase "great efforts" might suggest that the effort is doubled or extra.

According to Collin's Dictionary :

According to Oxford Living Dictionary:

course of action.
