I think that most people struggle at first when they make the step up to intermediate.
The best advice I can offer, is not to true to remember the whole intermediate routine, but pick the move that you like the most, and concentrate on that. Try and get it in a couple of times every dance that evening, and soon it'll become second nature - it's all about muscle memory.
As you rightly say, it's not about doing hundreds of moves badly, but doing the ones you do well. Give yourself a little time. In a few months, you'll have a pretty reasonable repertoire under your belt, just from your one move a class. And it won't take long before it all starts to be easier anyway...
There might also be a 'classic intermediate moves' workshop, which takes the more popular and easier intermediate moves, and teaches some of them in one session. Least, we have them in Scotland
