You are not necessarily stuck. As the other fellas already noted, One way to change your schedule is "move X Days" but that does' change the number of Reserve days you have, it just moves them.
It sounds like you talked to scheduling about it, but the other way I didn't see discussed is Personal Drop (P/D) via PCS. That's the only way to get rid of/drop a Reserve day, but the "4-99-4" rules already discussed don't apply to a P/D. For example, you can drop the middle day of a 3-day period, and create two single days of Reserve. BUT, There has to be excess reserve on the day in question - Look in Open Time in iCrew for "Pilot Reserve Levels". If there is not a surplus in blue, you can't P/D the day (APD is different). Also, you will lose approx 1/17th of your month's pay...
