It makes a big diff. In the US there is a product called RIT color remover that removes excess dye and can rescue clothes stained by bleeding colors.

Yes it really works. HOWEVER: because it removes excess dye, it may remove the same dye from the original fabric, and you may end up with a shirt that is white and grey. Still, better a shirt that is grey and clean white than black and streaky white-and-black.

Try it; you have nothing to lose. You can't use the top all streaky, so even if the color remover doesn't work you are no worse off than you were before. If the black turns grey, grey and yellow are just as good a combo as yellow and black.
