I am really stuck. I'm out of ideas. How do you guys treat a ringing snare when retracking is not an option?

You have 2 nasty bumps at 249 hz and 777 hz which need to be notched out by 3-4db. Won't completely illimanate the ring but would help.
If you angle the mic like 45 degrees it accentuates ringing and get more attack, good for toms sometimes. If you come in flat, closer to the centre as possible away from the rim it will help. Loosen the bottom skin as well a bit, it seems to be choking which will put more doyng doyng into the sound. btw, it's not a bad sound for certain genres it's ok.
