Sorry to hear of your troubles with them. Any black powder i open i put a dessicant pack in mine. I never have fooled with the pellets.

They might just dry out over time. Maybe you can still use them.

You think I should put em in the room with the dehumidifier

Or drop them into a big bag of dried rice. Rice is a pretty decent dessicant.

I would definitely dry them and try them.

You can buy bulk silica dessicant on Amazon for a reasonable price. I'm storing my powder in a 50 ammo can with some in the bottom. Might be worth a shot, but if you load it with moisture, know you may have to dry the dessicant in the oven later.
Make sure you get some with the color changing so you know if it needs dried out though lol.

I'm going to but if it doesn't have work what do I do with the the powder call the bacon

I dried some pretty wet T7 pellets years ago in a dehydrator. I kept the pellets real far forward on the trays and did not use any heat. About 6 hours and bang.

Just set them out on some aluminum foil in good hot sun they should be fine

If the sun ever comes out

Yup I seem to have that problem everytime I make a batch of black powder it rains so it usually just sets in my shop for 3 or 4 days until it dries on its own.

I vacuum pack all my powder and pellets when I buy them in separate bags, so not only the factory seal helps keep them fresh, but the added vacuum bags that are both air and moisture proof is another layer of protection, you can soak them in a 5 gallon bucket of water and as long as the vacuum bag doesnt fail they will be dry...then after opening, I will store the open bottle or box in a tupperware container...you will never have moisture issues...

I use this in my ammo safe, seems to work well. I was always doing the silica gel with my triple 7, this solved all that.
