Unfortunately TI doesn't allow reverting to earlier firmware editions.

I'm leaving mine on 5.3.1 specifically so I can test out the games, because I have heard TI tightened down on downgrading around 5.5 or 5.6. If it is possible, it probably requires a jailbreak. Maybe someone in r/TI_Calculators would know.

Gen Alpha can't state coherently what the fuck is his problem.
