Yes, it is perfectly doable, but I don't think anyone has yet bothered to release a utility that actually does it.
OPPORTUNITY FOR FAME AND FORTUNE! (okay, maybe just some fame): ================================= Hack the existing smartctl code to read out the failed sector numbers, and then issue single-sector read-overwrite to each of those bad sectors.
