it might take you more time than its worth on a stone.
Yes, that's what I was thinking.
Anyone have a grinding wheel and fancy giving this a go? Or know of a place which might do this?

Actually, it won't take all that long, and it is a great learning experience. I bet it would take you far longer to sort out a wheel or find someone else to do it, take it to them, pick it up again and earn the dosh to pay them.
You might want that aggressive stone I said you wouldn't need, but even with a 1000 grit that isn't going to take more than an hour of patient grinding on your whetstone.
Also you've nothing to lose.
You'll be a master sharpener in an evening.
I've reground edges in far worse state by hand in not that long (although I do have some very aggressive stones!)

Pretty sure it can be reprofiled, though based on the amount of material to be removed, it might take you more time than its worth on a stone.
Wheel to get the profile right, and then reground to desired edge.
My mum had an ancient Henckels 4 star chef knife that she dropped, where the tip snapped off. Had it refinished into a vegetable chopper/santoku shape which she preferred.
This was back when Henckels didn't do Santokus, so apparently importing 'exotic' German knives and grinding them to a different shape was a thing.
