Can the universe become stable with a new electroweak vacuum

The top and Higgs mass determination arose the old discussion about electroweak vacuum metastablity. There is an interesting fact that with available data the universe places in the edge of stable and meta-stable zone tends to be inside the meta-stable region. This conclusion confirms up to 3-loop renormalization group and even shows convergence. I know that changing the electroweak vacuum propertionally changes the top and higgs masses. But what I can't realize is that how the stability and meta-stability boundaries movem in this situation. So to speak, can the universe become stable by new high energy physics emergence as just <h>=246 Gev replacement?

This is an alert about a claim regarding the standard model, that got a burst of attention in the past two weeks. The original paper came out last year: "The electroweak η_W meson" by Gia Dvali, Archil Kobakhidze, Otari Sakhelashvili (2024) The recent follow-up and other responses are "η_W-meson from topological properties of the electroweak vacuum" by Dvali et al "Hiding in Plain Sight, the electroweak η_W" by Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Francesco Sannino, Jessica Turner "Astrophysical...
