Not the complete DIMM, but if a specific page containing a stuck
bit or similar can be removed since 2.6.33 yes
In theory you could add new memory replacing that memory if your
hardware and your kernel supports that, but typically that's
not worth it for a few K.

Part of the code is in the kernel, part in mcelog.
It only works with ECC memory and supported systems ATM (currently
Nehalem class Intel Xeon systems)
