Certainly it would have been designed as a twin if the technology was there. Or not?
Not likely, ETOPS regulations being what they were...at the time.
The reason these airplanes have more than two engines is...they needed them, considering the engine thrust varients available at the time...long ago.
Redesign now?
Sorry, not cost effective.
