You should just be able to create the same index with a different name,
then drop the original. I don't think there are any conflicts with indexes
with the same structure, as long as they have different names. I've never
actually tried this myself though.
If the DTD problem within transactions was fixed in 7.0x, you might even be
able to do this within a transaction. I don't remember hearing that DTD
operations were now reliable within transactions with the 7.0 release
announcement though.
