Just zero the first 4k of each drive, wiping the broken GPT partition table. Continue using the whole device in your array. No reformat or other data movement required. There's nothing wrong with using entire disks in your array. You won't be able to re-add sdd because as Chris said, "fixing" the primary GPT broke mdadm's superblock. After zeroing the beginning 4k of sdd, --add it to your array and let it rebuild.
