You cannot change the category of aircraft by simply reducing it's weight. You are free to increase the category, but not to reduce. If you want to reduce it then it has to be done "permanently", that is the manuals etc changed and approved by the authority and the weight reduction ie new MTOM will be a permanent one.

Therefore, if your aircraft is a Cat D, there it stays.
