Another way to use up the SRBs is to use them as boosters one
at a time.  Simply strap a second stage on top of one solid
motor.  You will have to add an adapter over the current motor
nose.  If the motor leaks a little, you don't care, because there
is nothing next to the motor to be bothered.  No bending loads
either, since there are no SSMEs thrusting at an angle.
