Yes, of course they have rework stations, but not enough to handle ongoing production and an inrush of old boards that all need repairs. Then they need to be tested and some of those will have to go back to be reworked because something went wrong in the meantime. And all this while they're gearing up for the C3000 production run.
If they just add production capacity, they can switch to C3000 production relatively easily, since the workflow is similar, minimizing the up-front cost of the C2000 repair operation (either straight up adding production capacity or diverting some other production line).

On a fixed chip, it's going to be a set of larger transistors on the offending pins. Possibly combined with greater spacing.I still wonder what the actual fix is
