You'll have to create the commit again, with the fixed date.  This will
generate a different commit hash identifier.  And you'll have to strip
the bogus commit from the server repository and all the clones that
pulled from it since the bogus commit was pushed.

I've been through that pain and I can only advise you tu configure a
push hook on the server repositories (the "pretxnchangegroup" hook) and
do some validation from there.  This is was I ended up doing because
careful people seem to be in danger of extintion.
