There is not much one can do to remedy overcooked meat of any kind. If the brisket is not too badly overcooked, one might be able to salvage a dish by shredding the meat and smothering it in a zesty sauce, similar to pulled pork.

Remember a brisket looses approximately 20% of it raw weight when cooked. Average brisket weights 9-12lbs lets call it 10lbs for easy math. when cooked it will serve at about 8 lbs and so you would buy 3 briskets that each weigh slightly more than 10 lbs. Brisket is a very fatty coarse meat that shrinks markedly when cooked; when smoking, experienced grill masters expect 40-50% shrinkage. Even cooked low and slow in the oven, you lose at least 1/3.
