Your SDRs should be prospecting masters. They should be prospecting geniuses. That's their job. That's all they do. That's why you have specialized roles so they can become PhDs at it and way better than an AE can be at it.
If your SDR is setting bad meetings, that's because your SDR managers aren't targeting them to the right kind of accounts and the right kind of persona. So that's on your SDR managers.
I hate blaming things on other people because then I don't have the power to fix them. I'd rather just blame it on me and then I can fix it.
