There might be some way to turn them back into a dead corpse (I personally find this to be unlikely), but there's no way to turn them back into a living person.  Black Court vamps are dead. Or, rather, undead.  But not alive.

Use of a plot-device powerful ritual, item or NPC(such as Queen Mab). That's my answer.

Transformation into a vampire of any stripe seems to be pretty permanent. I mean, Harry searched for years for a way to turn Red Court vamps back to human, and if memory serves he found one thing that might have worked. Black Courts are even more transformed than Reds, so I can only imagine that it'd be even harder than that.

We're basically talking direct action by the heaviest of the heavy hitters. This would be Archangels, one of the Faerie Mothers, or maybe an ancient and powerful god. Big, big mojo, in other words.

Although such a thing would be great for a high concept "Ex Vamp Wizard of the Black Court."

I'm pretty sure that's not possible.

Swim against the streams of time and prevent them from being tuned?
Kill them, and bring them back to life as a human?
Get an Elder god from beyond to transform them into something closer?
Mind-swap them into a normal human body?

Bear in mind all of those things will more than likely end up with a characters head on the proverbial chopping block.

time magic to prevent them ever becoming a black court in the first place.

Use a paradox-performing ritual to keep their personality/memory the same at your option.

Possibly just drag them forward in time instead of seeing 'who would they be now if they were never a blampire'

The Winter Mother's gift would have saved a *half-turned* Red. Not necessarily (probably not) a full Red ... much less a Blampire.

Time travel seems the only thing that would likely work. Possibly very powerful necromancy (like what Kumori did times a dozen), depending on what a Black Court transformation does to the soul (traps/imprisons it? sends it to the afterlife? destroys it?) and whether a sufficiently powerful necromancer could call back a soul that's gone all the way to the afterlife -- I kind of doubt it. So, massive Law violations and maybe disruption of the world...
