I think you can try charging it above 3V in NiMH mode to see if it can be revived, but I offer not guarantees (and proper safety precautions should be taken)

At 1% it's discharged bigtime, I'd have to say it's wrecked.

Yep NiMH mode like said above. Do it someplace where smoke and fire isn’t an issue.

This method has worked for me many times. NO GUARNTEES. Your mileage may vary.

I also brought a couple packs back from the dead with this method, esc was on nimh mode to my surprise, and cells went to 2. something per cell.
