Is there any workaround, even if I don't replace the battery?


No, because it's not only losing the date and time, it's losing the
CMOS settings, which is why it asks you to run setup each time you
boot.

What's so difficult about changing the battery?


Probably because the battery is built into the Dallas clock chip.

No more than moderately annoying to do if the chip is socketed and you
have a Dremel.
