Any chance a small 2-bit rotary encoder could be used?

That's a nice idea.  I suspect that it would require the board to be changed for the footprint of the encoder.

 

Or, you could find a spot in the case with enough room, drill a hole & glue the encoder in place, and then connect it to the pins on the existing PCB with wires.

Are the board cad files available?

Yep - did something similar with Mr. Robot's case.  Used some short leads to make the connections to a dip switch which is epoxied to the case.

Encoders generate a square wave, so I wouldn’t think that would work without additional electronics.
