Michael:

It seems I read about one of the big gun companies using steam instead of boiling. Can't remember where though, unless in was Angier.

Your idea of touch up bluing might just work, but I would suggest using a mild solution and no humidity box. This would help the intact bluing to resist the effects of the solution.

Give it a go and see what happens.
