Is there a tool out there that will scan a thumb drive and tell you if
the formatting/partitioning is buggered in a stuxnet sort of way?
Have you tried ScanDisk?

That might tell you if the structure is unusable but not if there is a
boot sector virus and another hidden partition full of nasty stuff.

Kaspersky Rescue Disc ?

Linux LiveCD disc (so the Linux OS can't be corrupted) ?

I just bought some new USB flash a week ago, and I
inserted them on a setup running Linux, for a "first look".
They did have EXEs on them, which I removed.
