Grant the time out. Tell opposing coach you made a mistake. At the end of the time out give it back to the team that called the time out and play on.
I have a better plan:

Don't grant the timeout. After the ball rolls OOB ask the requesting coach if he still wants the time out. Give the ball to the other team regardless of his answer.
If you blew the whistle because he called the time out I think you are obligated to grant it. Your only other "out" is an "inadvertent whistle" but I still think you would have to give it back to the team that originally had the ball. There's "more justice" in what you're proposing above but I don't, in my opinion think, it's correct.
I was just trying to say don't screw it up to begin with and you won't have any problem.

But if you screw it up the team in control gets the ball after the inadvertent whistle. And the timeout in this case.
