Is there any way to dismantle a Science Nexus?

My empire spawned near a ruined science nexus which I eventually repaired. The problem is that it's at the only black hole in my entire empire, which means I can't build a matter decompressor there due to the existing megastructure. And it doesn't look like there's any way to dismantle it so I'm assuming I'm stuck with it?

I'm pretty much out of options other than capturing a huge swath of enemy territory (about 5 planets) to capture another black hole. One of my vassals has a nearby hole a few systems from my border but they hate me and won't give it 😞

Fleet upgrade needs motes despite none of the components requiring motes?

I'm not too sure how this happened, but I'm in this situation where I can't upgrade my corvettes because they need motes - but none of the components have mote requirements.

The auto design function put quantum missiles in my weapon slots (which DO require motes), but I don't have motes so I swapped them back to the tier III missiles (which don't need motes). I'm still unable to upgrade the ships because it's saying I need motes. I tried deleting the ship design entirely and remaking it (hence the different class names between the 2 images), but it's still telling me I need motes.

And no, I can't just buy motes on the market because my empire hasn't discovered them. Strategic resources can't be bought from the market until you've discovered them yourself (see pic 3).

How do I fix this?
