Cutting benefits, a political nightmare.
Increase taxes, rough but probably doable.
Raise the retirement age, doable.
Remove/increase the cap, doable.

Got any others?

Give people the option to decline the amount of benefits they receive in exchange for a reduction in what they have to contribute while working.

Something like you can pay eighty percent of the usual while working, but you will only get 75% of the benefits you would get if you paid the full boat.
