Mack, if the printed emulsion was burnt too much, there's no longer enough image material that you can bring back with colour correction. I've been working for nearly ten years on several NLE softwares but I haven't touched FCPX yet. I still run FCP7 on Yosemite, along with Adobe CC suite and Da Vinci Resolve.
If FCPX runs a bit like its older brother, I'd duplicate the faulty frame on a separate track (on top of the original), create a garbage matte around the area to correct and apply correction there. You'd have to play with the colour wheels in all three tones (dark, mid and high).
It would be easier if Apple had kept "Color", their color grading software alive.
I'd be tempted to do this in a VFX software. After Effects comes to mind but Apple's Motion can do wonders. You could try to grab that faulty area from a previous frame and paste it to the burnt one, by adjusting the mask, that would work.
Or you could simply try to remove each burnt frame from the timeline. See if - to the naked eye - a small jumpcut would be more disturbing than a discolored area...
But it's time-consuming. Do you really want to get into that?
As these are archives, I'd probably leave the frames untouched.
