One would think that since it is just sugar that formed too-large crystals
when cooled, too large because the heat left too rapidly for the level of
stirring being done to the mix,

if you carefully and slowly reheat it to where the sugar turns back to
liquid state, and then recool, while constantly moving the mix so it does
not form large crystals, would probably work. try some and let us know what
happened.

BTW - stirring in anything that sucks heat from the mix makes bigger
crystals, so IMHO unless you have a commercial sized batch, one should beat
fudge in a ceramic bowl with wooden utensils and never scrape the sides (or
wrap the heated metal bowl in a towel)

fwiw
