Blueing salts are harmful too if they are trapped under ribs between barrels etc.

Sounds like a Fancy Gun. All blue and Gold plating.
Anyway, anything can be corrected. It is just a matter of how much time, effort and expense are put into it. Hot bluing can compromise the barrels and the ribs. If the worst has happened, it can be corrected, but would mean taking the barrel set apart and putting it all back together again. The Hot bluing would not compromise any of the other surfaces. BUT... improper bluing processes often go hand in hand with crap polishing and prep work. I mean buffing and wearing down of engraving and rounding over of hard edges, etc... Much harder to fix. Hopefully it is not THAT bad.
