No, I certainly wouldn't recommend "perservering". Cats can and will be very stubborn and if something doesn't smell right to them, they will flat out not eat it even if very hungry.
Obviously whether it is returnable is dependent on the policy of the business that you are dealing with. The flipside of having a generous return policy of course is that you will forever be wondering when you buy something from them whether you are unknowingly buying (and paying full price) for somebody's return. I think gifting it to a shelter would be a wiser thing, unless you felt like the description was misleading, or the food was spoiled or whatever.
I went through a lot of this with my cats as well, and now I'm to the point where I have a pretty wide variety of things that I rotate, and if one of them turns their nose up at something, that's fine, they'll get some dry food for that meal, and the other two will devour their food, but honestly, it doesn't happen often now that we've settled on a firm rotation from trial and error.
