I've moved entire weeks of capped coverage reserve days by swapping into a day that is -15 when the rest of the days were -2.
At my last shop this idea was called a "bad day/worse day" trade. You could always drop a day that was below coverage (ie bad) as long as you were picking up over days that had worse coverage. Really helped me out of a jam a few times.
