An alternative to re-recording the part would be to just re-do the specific places where the timing is awkward. That's what punch-in recording was invented for.
Or, you can listen to the part (don't look at the PRV!) and mark each place that has an obviously out-of-place note. See if you can't just fix those individual notes instead of doing a wholesale quantization. Listening blind will reveal that just because a note doesn't fall perfectly on the grid, it can still sound right. No sense fixing things that don't need fixing.
One thing you never want to do is let any software do the quantizing for you. Always scootch the notes by hand, and don't obsess over making sure every one of them falls exactly on the grid. It just isn't necessary, and in fact you can actually hurt the song by over-quantizing.
All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.
