It's not a big deal but is irritating!

I do believe it is! About 30 years ago I went through the trouble of burning a new EPROM for my MSX computer just because of that. Fortunately, on the HP-33C it is just a matter of rewring a jumper (for me it was even easier, I just had to cut it out). This might work for most units. Opening it up should be the most compicated part ( https://www.voidware.com/calcs/spicerepair.htm ).

DECIMAL-POINT IS COMMA :-)
