Other than another D2000Q, your ONLY options are the Stanton 7804DQ stylus or the D2400Q. The D4000 is for the XSV4000 (MM) and is not compatible since the UV15 is an MI design.
The D4500Q is for the XUV which is another MM design. The D4500S is for the low impedance XLZ body...

If the elastomer has hardened, there is no practical way to refurbish it since the tube crimping is one of the controls of compliance and "pinches" the elastomer by the desired amount. The tie-wire is soldered in position. Any attempt to disassemble is basically going to destroy it. Retipping is only viable if you are sure that the elastomer is still "good" and for preference you should only replace the tip itself and not the entire cantilever which will change the mechanical properties of the system from the design values.
