How do I uninstall/reinstall bluetooth software that is corrupted?

Long story short, the bluetooth software in my OS is messed up. Any idea how I can uninstall/reinstall it without doing a COMPLETE OS install? I'm tired of deleting the bluetooth prefs and restarting to fix the issue and having two keyboards (one BT, the other wired) on my desk every day to swap out when my BT fails. My beach ball of death is spinning right now as we speak after trying JUST to select the dropdown from my menu bar.

Any help to easily reinstall the software would be greatly appreciated.

Bluetooth Explorer is still there in Lion and Xcode 4.1. But it did NOT fix my magic trackpad's jumping cursor.
