You can try to pin "stable" to a priority greater than 1000 (see "man
apt_preferences") and do a dist-upgrade. This will work to some extent,
but there will almost certainly be a number of issues that you have to
fix manually. ("Downgrading is not officially supported.") My feeling is
that reinstalling will be quicker and less of a hassle.
