It would have to be pretty bad to not be able to be salvaged. I would try
to unspool it out in a straight line in a field. Then use a spool trailer
that has some power to wind it back up on a good spool.
There are some old horizontal pay out trailers that were largely used for
open wire line. No idea where you could find one. But even if you had to
remove all the reel parts and just have the coils you could use that.
You could make one by taking a truck or trailer wheel and spindle and making
a horizontal lazy susan turntable to put the reel on and pay it out that
way.

Subject: [AFMUG] Fiber on bad spool
I have some 144 fiber that is sitting on a wooden spool that is rotting
away. Apparently this spool is in real bad shape. I'm waiting on some
pictures to see how bad. Guys are telling me we are going to have to
abandon all the fiber. I hoping to try to re-spool it to another spool.
Any tips or tricks?
