How is it possible to replace individual interlocking tiles, without
stripping the whole roof?

In areas of moderate windspeed like round here (London) you often only
have to nail the tiles at the perimeter of the roof. To get one out
gently wedge up the adjacent tiles on the row above then you may be
able to remove your tile by lifting and twisting it. If it's nailed and
the nail does not shift when you manipulate the tile you need to find
where the nail is and cut if with a ripper - buy, hire or copy what I
did last BH, make one from a Wickes £1.09 galvanised angle restraint
strap with an angled groove cut in it using an angle grinder. Note that
if the tile is very near the side or top of the roof it may be hard to
replace without disturbing verge or ridge pointing.
