I don't know whether it counts as safe, but since I don't see it
mentioned anywhere else in the thread you can do the following.

(require 'package)
(unless package--initialized
  (package-initialize))
(assq-delete-all 'org package--builtins)
(assq-delete-all 'org package--builtin-versions)
(package-install 'org)
