Fix commit message after push?

Is there a way to fix a commit message after the commit has already
pushed to someone else? I typed the wrong commit message then I pushed
to the remote repository before realizing it. I tried git commit
--amend to fix it in my local repository, but it rejects the
subsequent push. I somewhat understand why it's rejecting it (my
--amend rewrote history and now they are out-of-sync), but I was
wondering if there is a general way to handle situations like this
with git.
