I microwave mine on 30-40% power (in an 800w unit) for 20-30min, stir and give it another 20-30min. That usually restores them to a dry state and doesn’t cause issues with overheating them.

This is the only way I’ve been successful with a microwave dry. For a standard 1000-1100 watt microwave, drop the power down to 20%.
I normally toss them into my food dehydrator while I’m drying filament rolls though so I don’t need another step.
