You might try experimenting with the De-Reverb feature in the New version of Izotope's RX3. 
You can download a free trial version that is fully functional for 10 days, except that it is save-disabled, so you will need to record your result to something else before you close the program.

This is a hand riding job. After the transfer ride the levels in your 
favorite DAW. No automatic one invented yet.
