Unfortunately there isn't any way to reconstitute dry oil paint. Watercolor, yes, oils, no. This is because the drying of oils is actually not strictly a "drying" process that can be reversed. It is a chemical change (oxidation) of the linseed oil that the paint was made with. Once it's dry, it's dry forever -- one of the reasons oil paintings last so long.
