Why not just add 1 to the number (and mention it in the text)? When this fails, add 2, and so on.

Laws are not bytecode sequences, and courts are not dumb VMs, no matter how much programmers want them to be.

I would assume most judges would view this akin to ignoring the DMCA request. It would be like altering a single bit in an MP3 and saying that it's no longer the exact original, even though you put out instructions telling the downloader to change the bit back.
