Is there any way at all to manipulate local forwards on an existing

Use the ~C escape, which is documented in ssh(1) thusly:
~C Open command line. Currently this allows the addition of port
forwardings using the -L, -R and -D options (see above). It also
allows the cancellation of existing remote port-forwardings using
-KR[bind_address:]port. !command allows the user to execute a
local command if the PermitLocalCommand option is enabled in
ssh_config(5). Basic help is available, using the -h option.
Depending on what you're doing, you may be better served by
-D/DynamicForward which allows you to use SOCKSified clients rather than
created new (local) forwards for each purpose.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
