Your best bet is to remove the contacts, edit the backup manually and then re-restore it.

And if the backup was merged into existing contacts, just take a new one. Then you can purge all contacts instead of trying to sort through the broken ones.

Afaik, You can use export your Google Contacts into Excel/CSV files when using contacts for web.
