I replaced my mast step on my old 1970 30MKI. I don't think you can do it without pulling the stick. If memory serves me, it's not a hard job but it's labor intensive and you are going to have to get your arm down there pretty deep and far back to get the old wood out and re- glass the new steps in.
If you don't have one, I would suggest a stainless plate between the wood block the mast sits on and the glassed in steps. Good excuse to check the rigging, lights, etc up there.
