The whole "Unlock interface then whack the borg with tools until you find the right one" process feels like its an old relic from before we started using the much more user friendly charging docks. Adding the ability to swap limbs on and off a borg from the dock would be a nice feature to add.
However, there are some cases where you just don't have access to a dock as a borg, namely when helping on a telesci expedition. For cases like that, what if borgs had the ability to unlock their interface so whatever scientist/assistant redshirt was with them could replace limbs or modules without having to beg for a head or roboticist ID? You can keep the borg from locking it back up, or have it be delayed to keep debraining as a legitimate tactic against rogue borgs.
