does anyone know of anything that can be done
Nope. As with any digital sensor, be it audio or video, once you max it out, you're done. Clipped samples cannot be restored. All you can do is bring the level down to something reasonable, and maybe play with the EQ a little bit, but that second part would really be a waste of time. Distortion caused by overdriving the input cannot be fixed.

As the famous Jeff Harrell once said "working is better than not working."
One thing you could do, if you have a lot of time, is to smoothen out the jagged edges in the individual samples in Soundtrack or Logic or ProTools. Basically zoom in and slowly treat each rough edge...
Another thing to do is to switch to view the frequencies in StkPro, and see which frequencies are clipping and bring that down a little.
Another thing you can do on minor distortion is to run it through the clicks and pops fixer in STKPro a few times and see if it helps.
And your final alternative is to get the actresses to get into the recording studio to re-moan... I mean, ADR.
You can't restore information that is clipped, but you can sound a little better with a lot of work.

Yeah a LITTLE better with a LOT of work. Get them back in to re-moan it. Pretty sure no one's going to write a letter of complaint and it will be a lot less, erm, distracting.

Oh please. Second rate post-add moaning (preferably with a German accent) is de rigueur is it not?
Izotope looks interesting though.
And heh, I never ever though of the name Hardcastle like that before. You realise that's never going to get better now. Scarred, I am.

Thank you Strypes and Harry323 for your professional and mature response.
Wait a minute here...you are kidding, right? You announce that you are working on POSTING AUDIO MOANS in an ADULT FILM and you don't expect JOKES??? PLEASE.
Jude is right. Re-moan it.

Methinks he'd chosen the words "professional" and "mature" on purpose...

Oh no. Don't do it, Derek. Get the original actors to do it.

I bought a "Sex Sounds" CD one time to put into a PSA about AIDS, which had an S&M theme.

Oh that would be in the CD player. It turns out, just for reference, groans and grunts don't turn out to be a very good score for a long drive.

Reid... me thinks your post got lost in all the stand-up 
I just happen to have a project I need to fix... what would be your favorite program right now for that? Also... Thank you for getting me started in the world of digital editing so many years ago with my SS system. How I miss it.
