Can I reuse a tape that has exceed the max # of overwrites?

Hello,

 

Is there any way to "erase" a tape that has exceed the max number of allowed overwrites in order to be reused? The media in question is not write protected, and the quality is good.  I already tried recycling the media and that released the space for it was previously full.  What else would I need to do in order for the media to be write ready?

 

The filesystem protection for the backups is set to "permanent" would this interfere in any way?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
