Aren't you allowed to replace the RCD with a 100mA one in these
circumstances?

No now. There may have been times in the past where that was appropriate
- but only where the RCD was there to protect the circuit and reduce
fire risk, not if its purpose was shock protection.

That would be cheaper than replacing the existing RCD
and all the breakers.

It would only be fixing a symptom rather than the actual problem. It
would also mean you no longer have adequate shock protection on the
circuits that really need it.
