Format it with scissors then.

SD cards get worn out over time and especially don't like getting formatted too often. Write it down to experience. Perhaps using a pc to format or another phone?

It's deeead!!
Had a similar experience a while back, save yourself the self loathing and many lost hrs googling, the card can either be formatted or it can't, try a few format tools if it's still not happening throw it in the bin!

Use Recuva on the sd card.
