Kill "Error Occurred" workflows en mass rather than one at a time

We have a list that has 200+ instances of "error occurred".  I know why it's erroring. But I'm wondering if there is a way to kill all of these workflows at once rather than going into each instance and ending the workflow.  I can't go into workflow settings and "remove" the workflow.  Is there any other way to do it that will leave the workflow intact and running for other items that aren't erroring?

If you open and republish the workflow, you should now be able to see In List Settings > Workflow > Remove a workflow, that the existing instances are still running (that workflow should be auto set to No New Instances) and the error occurred items can now have the "new" workflow triggered.

That would be a great solution if I had permissions to publish workflows on our production servers.  But, I don't.  I was hoping for a simpler way.
