Anyone ever dealt with this?

Rather then replacing it, I was just thinking about sistering in (or
sandwiching it ) another 2x4 with some screws and maybe some construction
adhesive.

The construction adhesive (assuming good quality) will do more for
strength than a whole bunch of screws or nails. In fact to do a
superior job, the sistered stud needs to be well clamped in place
before any fasteners are used. For fasteners some prefer ring shanked
nails or star head construction screws.
