Release problem with Android app version code, Please help

Please help, I tried mostly everything I could find.

I somehow managed to make the the automated build uploaded a app version with 6 digits to the play store a while ago. I didn't realize it the version code was 6 digits and approved it.
However, seems the default code length is 5 digits. The old version is now too large and I can not top it with my builds. They always end up to be 5 digits and hence too small numbers.

The main problem is that one can't delete an uploaded & released version from the store.
Feeling that if I do not find a reasonable solution I would have to create a new App and move users to it...

I can not find a way how to set / force the version code manually beforeor after building the APK.

Based on this I went through the build.gradle file and disabled ll 158 for instance

versionCode versionCodeOverride ?: Integer.parseInt("" + privateHelpers.extractIntFromManifest("versionCode") + "0")

but to no avail. I could not update my app for a month now. Please help.

This is a more desperate re-post of my previous post
