Biden would not have the power to do that. As long as the paper work is done and delivered to the person, the pardon is irrevocable, even by Trump.

Neither did it work that way when Jackson deported the Cherokee from their lands. Still happened despite the objections of the supreme court.
Bad precedent can lead to good acts.
if Biden attempted to revoke the pardons, the people pardoned would simply sue. They would win. And, unlike the case of the Cherokee, a writ of habeas corpus would free the person from prison.
