How do I undo a git commit that made sitewide changes 7 commits earlier

So I thoughtlessly used CodeMaid to reformat my work project. All it did was change the usings and remove blank lines. However the byproduct of it was to change the version dates on all files.

Now the Manager won't let me commit my branch, naturally enough, as all files have now been changed.

Is it possible to remove the one commit and have its changes cascade upwards undoing themselves? Or, as I have started to do, make a new branch below the commit and manually add in every change after it?
