Yikes! I was doing a customer a favor and tinting his lenses a light gray. One lens sucked up the dye immediately, while the other didn't. So now I have one lens too dark and no neutralizer. Can I use some Clorox? Or will it destroy the lens?

Hot water alone will leach some of the color out.
If clorox would safely work it would have been used over a wide plane in all these years since lens tinting exist.
Most probably your problem with these lenses is that one of them is hard coated and the other is not, or has a non tintable coating.
Your problem is more complicated than you think. You probably would have to strip the coating with an AR stripper if it is the silicone type, and then re tint, rather than remove the tint on the other one which is near impossible even with neutralizer.
The easiest way if the Rx allows it, get a pair of uncoated CR39 cut them into the frame and tint them the way you wanted.
