Aaahhhhh! I think I'd rather write something entirely different than
do that.If a story is bad enough to need a total rewrite I'd be
inclined to stick in a drawer and forget about it.
I also don't trust my own judgement. I usually hate whatever I've just
finished - for a time anyway. I have to force myself to do minimal 
revision, I'm not sure I'd be capable of doing what you suggest.
