I have 2 SSDs on my macbook pro configured as a RAID 0.
Softraid Lite asks me to repair the volume, I do, then quit the program. AFter I re-launch, softraid lite reports the same error, and the loop continues.
the log file reports and error 12, saying that the partition map command failed because the disk is being used by another application.
I also re-installed the softraid driver as an attempt to fix, without any luck.
Screenshots included.

The problem is most likely that the volume is not unmountable.
Manually unmount the volume first. then run SoftRAID.
See if SoftRAID can repair the partition maps after that.

As this is my boot volume, I'll have to figure something else out.

You should always have a second boot volume. Create a bootable thumbdrive for situations like this. If you ever need to repair your volume, with either Disk Utility, or with Disk Warrior, you need to boot from another volume.
All you need to do is boot from this alternative volume (same OS X flavor), and run SoftRAID. See if that allows SoftRAID to fix this.
Disks with mounted volumes have their partition maps write protected.

An external drive with multiple bootable volumes that does NOT contain the current boot volume (the internal drive) always asks to repair the partition map. When booted from any of the bootable volumes on this external drive, no partition repair request appears.
No matter how many times the partition map is repaired, along with Disk Utility checks and Disk Warrior rebuilds, the repair partition map request always returns the moment any of the external volumes is mounted while booted from the internal, but never when booted from the external.
Thoughts?

Unmount all volumes on these disks. Then run SoftRAID. See if this lets SoftRAID repair the partition map.
