If you ignore this advice and complain about ruining another good tape we shall have to ask you "three questions" to confirm then sick "The Beast" from that movie on you.
Well surprisingly enough the tape is still watchable yet even in spite of the damage done to the tape, the only thing I've noticed is that with the tape (and I don't know if its the tape or if its the VCR needing its heads cleaned or what) for some reason even on the good undamaged parts of the tape the Hi-Fi Audio Tracks cut in and out between Hi-Fi Stereo and Normal Linear Stereo Audio, which is kind of annoying, I haven't tried a newer Hi-Fi Stereo Tape in the machine yet but it seems that my machine will definitely need at least a good head cleaning, and the machine I'm referring to is my recently acquired JVC high end VCR which does work.
