Default what to do with stinky semi-hydro spider bro plant?

Hi:
In 2020 I accidentally knocked a tiny 1/2" pup off my bedroom air-cleansing spider plant. I stuck the pup into a 1.5" pot filled with leca/hydroton, and put it into a cute but horribly impractical batman mug (the ears poke into my face). Didn't make the two holes, do any distilled or physan rinsing maintenance the influencers suggest when doing semi-hydro. It grew out like hair, and it's been the centerpiece of my living room coffee table

Watered it about once a week with foliage pro. Now 3.5 years later, we have this semi-monstrosity. It's doing fine and I'm super happy with it, but on arriving home after a week-long conference, my entire room smells of mold and I've honed in on this plant... it reeks. Up close, the smell is like a mixture of mold and poo.

Some options:
1. Do nothing and deal with the smell (oh god it's horrible no thank you)
2. Try rinsing with diluted hydrogen peroxide or physan
3. Leave it alone but take this outside, since I'm in so cal
4. repot into a larger container, and this time do the semi-hydro "correctly" with holes and rinse it on a regular basis
5. repot into potting soil
6. Give it away
7. other suggestions?

Let me know your thoughts!
