The db is too big to restore fully, can't even just restore the primary filegroup anywhere. How can I get a single stored procedure back?

grab the trial version of Idera's SQL Virtual Database, which is one of the products that John Mitchell mentioned: it opens a backup as if it were a real database, but without the disk space requirements.

then you can grab and DDL definitions or data you need.
