Maybe this is not super professional way how to do it, but I removed whole rubbery grips from my Canon EOS60D, which is known from bad quality grip. Then I used Sugru on all surfaces where rubber was glued previously. Nice thing about sugru is that after molding it becames real rubber. You can mold shape of your fingers for better grip. Only issue is that rubber is smooth so in some cases it could be useless.

Could you impress a texture into the surface before it hardens?

Yes you can, sugru is really soft before it hardens.

Sugru is mostly silicone + talc... which is sort of better than rubber, although it sticks a little too permanently. There is a photo of a camera grip repaired using sugru on the wikipedia page .

I'd try something like the Peachtree Woodwording 1" Double Stick Tape, PW3599. It's made to temporarily stick wood pieces together so that you can machine them (e.g., turn a bowl on a lathe) without having to drill holes to secure the workpiece. Years ago, I used a similar tape from 3M to secure metal parts to the bed of a Bridgeport Series 1 CNC milling machine. Basically, the trick is that these tapes have amazing bond strength in the plane of the tape, but are weak enough in the Z dimension that you can separate the parts fairly easily when done. Thus, it wouldn't prevent the grip from being peeled-up to access the camera guts, but it would strongly resist any movement of the grip surface.
