Laravel 5 Convert Date String to Desired Date Format

I have a set of dates with different formats as below

3 Mar 2020
Mar 3, 2020
A1 -- this is obviously not a date but how can I escape to convert this to date format? 
1I

Code below doesn't work with A1 or 1I.

if (Carbon::createFromFormat("d M Y", $item)) {
    return "valid"; 
    //do my things
}
//if it's not date, then just ignore

Any shortest way to convert the correct date to my date format Y-m-d? And how can I escape from converting A1 and 1I? These lines should be ignored when comes to check the date format.

$date = 'Mar 3, 2020'; //

$carbon = Carbon::parse($date);

$desiredFormat = 'd/m/Y';

$formattedString = $carbon->format($desiredFormat);

Use toggle script to change the date format:

Use strtotime() and date():

$originalDate = "2010-03-21";
$newDate = date("d-m-Y", strtotime($originalDate));

just use strtotime:

$string = '3 Mar 2020';
if (strtotime($string)) {
    return date('Y-m-d', strtotime($string);
}
