Norton Disk Doctor to the rescue! Even if it couldn't save the data, you could reuse the floppy. They were expensive at the time.
Out of curiosity, I just googled for prices and it seems prices stayed about the same since I bought the last pack.

Not only reuse but be pleasantly surprised yet irritated at the same time because suddenly the disk was magically usable again!
