What I would do i move the current tables including mysql to a safe place and rerun scripts/mysql_install_db, that will replace the mysql table. Then put the tables back into the data directory but make sure the old mysql table is oldmysql or something different than the current mysql table. Use the old mysql table, remove or replace roots password and copy the old table over the new one. I haven't had to actually do this but it seems like it should work. Just remember to keep a backed up copy of all your old tables.
