Default Leveling OSB Flooring for Hardwood Install

That is one of 2 reasons why I would never buy a house with OSB floors. The
other is.... pour some water on it and watch it grow.

After removing carpeting in the family room to replace with hardwood
flooring, the OSB has sagging between the joists. The sagging is
around 1/4" to 3/8" worst case. The hardwood installer said he
can't warranty the install because of the floor not being level.

Leveling compound specifies not to use on OSB. Can the OSB
be sealed to use leveling compound?

Is there some other alternative? Replacing the OSB with
plywood would be a major effort as the OSB is screwed
and glued to the joists.

Appreciate your advice,
