Wooden baskets engulfed by large cattleyas - is Repotting even possible?

[piping plover]

Hi All, I am a new member but have been visiting/lurking this forum for awhile now. I need help. Six years ago I transferred all my Catts from clay pots to wooden baskets. I am now regretting it. The Catts growth and roots have engulfed the wooden baskets, I can no longer see the bark chip media; the roots and the basket have become one. Is it even possible to now separate the orchids/roots from the baskets and go back to clay without traumatizing my Catts? Anyone have any advice or past experience with this issue?

An idea to share with you for your input: Should I just disassemble the bottoms of the wood baskets; removing any dead roots and old media from the interior of the basket; adding in fresh media and then reconstruct bottom of basket? In this case I’d use a media that cannot rot (leca pebbles, foam pellets, or similar).
