Is There A Way to Recover a Bad Chip (Out of Box)?

It seems I have a bad ATMega328P-PU.

I was originally able to run the chip detector sketch without a problem, but when I went to load the bootloader (UNO configuration) on it, using the Atmega_Board_Programmer sketch, I got many verification errors

Verification error at address 7E71. Got: 0xFE Expected: 0x38
Verification error at address 7E72. Got: 0xFF Expected: 0x11
Verification error at address 7E73. Got: 0xFF Expected: 0xF4
Verification error at address 7E75. Got: 0x3B Expected: 0xE0
Verification error at address 7E7A. Got: 0x82 Expected: 0x8D
Verification error at address 7E7D. Got: 0x3E Expected: 0xC0
Verification error at address 7E80. Got: 0xFF Expected: 0x11
Verification error at address 7E81. Got: 0xFF Expected: 0xF4

Verification error at address 7E83. Got: 0xFF Expected: 0xE1
Verification error at address 7E84. Got: 0x43 Expected: 0x03
Verification error at address 7E85. Got: 0xFF Expected: 0xC0
Verification error at address 7E86. Got: 0xFF Expected: 0x85
Verification error at address 7E87. Got: 0xFF Expected: 0x34
461 verification error(s).
First 100 shown.
Type 'C' when ready to continue with another chip ...

Now, when I go back and run the chip detector sketch on it, I get the following:

Atmega chip detector.
Entered programming mode OK.
Signature = 1E 01 0F
Unrecogized signature.
LFuse = 62
HFuse = D9
EFuse = FF
Lock byte = 00
Clock calibration = B4

First 256 bytes of program memory:

10: FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 0E FF FF
20: FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF

D0: FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 6E FF FF
E0: FF FE FF FF FE FF FF FF FE FF FF FF FF FF FF FF
F0: FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF

I'm thinking I need to reset each of these addresses to FF. Is this correct? Is it possible?
I don't think is it the setup since I've been able to program 3 others without major difficulties

The programmer sends a 'chip erase' command before uploading the program, this sets all memory to 0xff (except protected memory, if any, eg. bootloader).

If it fails then the chip is bad. There's nothing you can do about it.
