Two plugins that can be helpful are the Lyric Shadow highlight which both brings down blown highlights and also can stretch black detail.

The other problem is that blown out shots can have a horrible effect on skin tones. There is a plugin which I know about but haven’t tried call “Captain’s Blowout Fixer”

Scroll down to the second last plugin. There is a tutorial on how to apply it.
