What can Stevie do to win back the many long time fans she’s lost the last few years?

In any scenario, for any reason, he cannot be a guiltless party. He is not perfect. Despite what you may think.

Lindsey isn't perfect, and neither is anyone else in the band. To justify his firing, he would have to do something much worse than what anyone else in the band has ever done. Which has not been forthcoming.

Lindsey may be difficult to work with, but I don't think Stevie's a peach to work with either. Her diva tendencies have been getting progressively worse over the years, and she seems to be close to full-on Norma Desmond territory.

We're allowed to critique the band for their decision. The band was broken up, apparently because Lindsey and Stevie basically can't get along. But Lindsey didn't issue an ultimatum, Stevie did, and that's where she did something wrong. There's plenty of things on Stevie's side of the column to justify her firing, so how does she have the chutzpah to basically demand Lindsey's firing? And to not have the decency to tell him herself?

Apparently, the other 4 got along just fine without her, and I think BuckVie is a large part of what precipitated this. I initially took her comments to the press at face value, but I think now it's pretty clear that project rankled her.
