If it was mine, there's probably like 3-4 fixes I might consider for myself. But they'd all be too unorthodox for me to feel comfortable suggesting them.
Although if you have a threadless headset you might look for a used replacement fork. At 80 mm travel, there are plenty of old, good quality forks around that'd work. Might get one for $30 or so.
