Paid $40 for a cheap burr grinder and my coffee tastes burnt now

I was using a blade grinder for about 2 years and got tired of uneven grounds, so I grabbed a $40 burr grinder on a whim last month. Turns out the burrs on this thing are so dull that it heats up the beans while grinding (I could actually feel the grinder body get warm). Now my morning cup has this weird burnt taste that wasn't there before, and I'm out $40 plus whatever I've been wasting on beans. Should I just go back to the blade grinder or is there a way to fix a cheap burr grinder without spending more money?
