Nothing you can do to add spurs back to them. It’s possible that there are bits that don’t have spurs, but I don’t know of any. You really need the spurs to get a clean entry into the wood.
Seems like I saw something a while back about what you can use old or worn auger bits for. You might have to try that because they’re probably no good for boring holes.
I’d suggest searching the internet for different types of bits. Try looking at Bob Demers excellent blog at “http://thevalleywoodworker.blogspot.com/”. Look for the category of “Boring Tools”. He’s got some great information.
