What about something like booting into rescue mode from a Disc 1 allowing
it to mount your system (r/w) and set up access to install media,
preferably with all current updates as well and then use
rpm --root /mnt/sysimage -Fvh --replacefiles
You might need --oldpackage as well, but I tend to think that it wouldn't
be needed. If that fails, you could do rpm --root /mnt/sysimage -qa and
find those specific RPMs and then use
rpm --root /mnt/sysimage -Uvh --replacefiles <name of RPM>
Of course, the first thing you should do is backup what you do have to
avoid losing what you have left.
Hope this helps.

I have a test machine (Centos 4) that I just rm -Rf'd the /usr/bin dir
