Well, downgrades are unsupported because there's probably a good chance
they won't work smoothly, but it's possible to try.  You just need to
give the packages you want to downgrade a pin priority greater than
1000.  man apt_preferences for details.

Placing the following in /etc/apt/preferences (untested) should
downgrade all packages to woody:

Package: *
Pin: release v=3.0*
Pin-Priority: 1001
