Here is a small utility script for increasing or decreasing strength (or flipping positive and negative sides) of existing loras permanently whilst preserving metadata, because apparently existing tools don't make it very easy or possible. This should take less than a minute on a decent processor. Especially useful for customising sliders.
Shoutout to @ghostpaint for informing me of this issue. See v1 vs v2 here for an example: https://civitai.com/models/2465845?modelVersionId=2778175
