RE: How high?

I should pre-qualify my comments by acknowledging that I don't own an ESR meter. I only use late production electrolytic caps, so I rely on the specified characteristics. That aside, ESR meters usually come with graphs that show generally acceptable windows for ESR based on capacitance. I would use those as a guide, unless it's a fairly new capacitor with a published specification that can be used to cull the bas ones. No, I wouldn't try to reform a capacitor with high ESR. That would indicate to me that the part has dried out.
