I imagine there are fewer and fewer blockchains at  home all the time given its size.

I maintain two blockchains having Bitcoin-QT on two machines.  This morning I got a payout and soon after that blockchain came up corrupted.  So, I know the corruption is in the last block.

Can I go into the database and remove the last block, then remove the lock on the directory, delete the wallet, and have the blockchain start building from just before the deleted block?

I realize that all the other times this has happened I have had to wipe the whole thing then after copying the blockchain from the other machine, rebuilt from that but it takes weeks even when building from a current blockchain.

Okay, this is odd.  I had deleted the wallet and removed the lock then tried but got a corrupt database message again.  Then I put the machine on another sub-net here, removed the lock and the wallet and tried again.  This time the Bitcoin-QT opened just fine and caught up the blockchain!  Putting the wallet having the new payout on the other machine with a blockchain, it opened perfectly with the correct balance and is up to date.  So, all fixed and I don't know why.

In your place I would use Blockchain online wallet together with Multibit wallet or only Multibit wallet - it is much more simple. At this stage BTC network is expanded a lot, so Multibit is good choice.

I faced the similar problem too. I was bit worried at the time. Used a different wallet to recover. Cheesy Grin
