I think it is unlikely that the file can be fixed. There is no way for you to know what data values might have been changed so even if the file would import there could be corrupted data in the result.

Check to see if the source file still exists then if it does Re-FTP the file from the source using a binary FTP. If the file has been removed see if you can get a new one made.
