Any alt to ripping back?

This is a cowl for my partner and he said he doesn't care about the flaws since it's a handmade gift. I missed the cable on roughly half the intersections on the brightest/center-est part of the cowl. Is there anyway I can rip back just the cables? There are tons of floats so I'm worried the answer's no. It would suck to rip back since doing colorwork's the bane of my existence, but probably manageable since the yarn is cut and rejoined every color row.
