Yes there is such a thing as over exposing a screen. There is no remedy for it really, but you may try using a pressure washer with minimal pressure to try knocking out the stencil, but it is very likely you won't get a clean stencil or if any. Over exposing causes emulsion in the stencil to actually expose as well, causing it to be very difficult to blow out. You will have to reclaim the screen, and start over again.
