OPQ: "On the Way Up" Stage-Only Hit 4 Levers Instead of 5

Hi. OPQ is one of my favorite pqs in the game. I love how it's unique in that it emphasizes puzzle solving, teamwork, and coordination a little bit more than the other pqs. However, I think the stage that people generally find the most frustrating is "On the Way Up", which is the lever stage. With 32 combinations, if you're unlucky, it can take 3-5 minutes of mindlessly hitting the levers until you get the correct combination.

I was thinking, if it were possible, to remove one lever (maybe by removing the middle lever and covering it with wall texture). This would reduce the possible combinations from 32 to 16, doubling the chances of finding the correct combination without changing the integrity of this stage. I was thinking of only having to hit 3 levers, but having a 1/8 chance to skip this stage entirely is a little too high.

I know this can possibly take a lot of coding or even not be possible and I understand if that were the case. Thank you for reading and I appreciate all your guys' efforts in maintaining this server.
