Let's use the word 壊す (Transitive) and 壊れる (Intransitive) For Transitive verbs
in Japanese, it seems fairly easy to say "it is being broken" vs "it was and
currently still is broken". 壊している - "Breaking" 壊してある - "Broke and still
broken"

Now, from what I understand, intransitive verbs differ when in the ~ている form,
they indicate present state. 壊れている - "Broke and still broken"

How can we get the "Breaking" meaning here for the intransitive?

Intransitive Verbs - Progressive vs Current State
What `[V て-form]-いる` means highly depends on context, and that’s regardless of
whether the verb is transitive or intransitive. For example, 食べる is a
transitive verb but 食べている could also refer to a state of someone having eaten
something, either in the sense that the action is already completed or the
person has an experience of doing the action in the past.

> 毎日帰りが遅いので、家に着いた時には家族はもう夕食を食べている。[completion]

> あの店ではもう何度も食べている。[experience]

Given the right contexts, 壊している could also be used in similar ways.

> 今から行っても、現場に着く頃には彼らは家の中の物を全て壊しているだろう。[completion]

> 彼は携帯の扱いが雑で、これまでに何台も壊している。[experience]

The first usage is rarer with a verb like 壊す because Japanese tends to express
its result focusing on the thing broken rather than the person’s action that
caused it, even when that action was deliberate, and therefore, tends to use
an intransitive verb (壊れている) or the passive form of a transitive verb (壊されている)
with the thing broken as its subject.

`[Vt て-form]-ある` is different. It’s not easy to imagine a situation where
壊してある sounds natural. Someone would have to deliberately break something and
intentionally leave it broken for some purpose.

壊れている is normally understood as meaning that something is already broken
because 壊れる normally refers to an instantaneous change of state, rather than a
process. If something disintegrates over a period of time, 壊れている could also
refer to an ongoing state.
