Re-start the throw-in with :03 and give the timer a wink.
Continue your count, note when your 3 seconds expired, and if an appreciable delay exists between that time and the horn, kill the play. This scenario is more dangerous.
GBTB and putting :01 is not a fair way to end the game. It is taking the game away from the players.

I never worry about taking the game away from the oplayers. The players don't control the game. The officials do.
No way are the officials authorized to declare a do-over.
I vote for keeping the count and ending the game when your count gets to 3.

And what is going to happen when the point guard briefly glances at the clock and thinks he has 3 seconds left to make a play only to have you blow the whistle and declare the game over?
I think that, unless a shooting motion has already started or is obviously about to start, the only safe thing to do is kill the play, fix the clock, and resume with a throwin.
