That would bee too easy.
alternate timeline:
The Doctor could go back and prevent his regeneration.
But I think, this would not be allowed to a timelord.
Better let's take Jamie Howse's solution: ignore 'Enemy Within'.

 after Lister had his kids. He was tending three skeletons insisting that
 they were still alive because he is a servant mechanoid & needed to serve
 some one, this is also the reason for his joining Lister & crew once they
 proved to him that the "people" that he was trending were dead he *_needed_*
 some one to serve< this was also a different actor than Robert LLewellen<sp>
 who now plays Kryten>. The only thing that read an exit sign was the unhappy
 robot in the Hitchhiker books/series.The reason for the different appearance
 to Kryten was explained in the info blurb that scrolls by in series ]I[...
 it seems that after borrowing Listers bike he lost control & hit an asteroid
 thereby changing the configuration of his "face".
 This is of course only my two cents worth<Grin>
