Lining up with the centreline

I appreciate that this scenario most likely never happens in professional aviation. But on my last take-off, I did wonder...

if you were to fudge the turn and end up not correctly aligned, for whatever reason, what do you do? Can you correct the alignment on the take-off roll in the way that adjustments are made anyway? Or would you ever have to taxi the aircraft to the first exit, come back and try again (presumably losing some face!)? Or does that simply never happen?

Apologies for the naivety, but I'm going to draw that shameful comparison and say that it must be easier to do than in a certain piece of Microsoft software?
