Stairs Landing 2

[Christina1]

The builder put a LVL beam to support the landing and upper set of stairs, but the beam cuts across what should be stair railing in a very visible location. I hope this community has suggestions for ways to support the stairs and landing so the LVL can be removed, ideally without rebuilding the stairs with steel stringers. THanks in advance for your thoughts!!

The engineer on the project suggested a single piece made of 5 layers of plywood that runs under the landing and along the lower stairs. Similar to what dvd's idea of a stinger/truss section
