xenosaga 2 expert question

I didnt want to use to the strategy guide the first time i play, but i decided to look through it right after the first disk. and i realized i missed getting the stealing ability , and also missed stealing awakening 1 from albedo. i really want that . is there a way i can still get awakening 1 or do i have to start all over? also when i go back to fight in old areas can i still fight the bosses from those areas? thnx
