My bet: a Starship variant. Send it up, refuel it as needed, and you've got a metric shit ton of de-orbit push. Starship will have been to the moon by then, it'll be a proven platform.
Hell, use a fleet and you could reland the ISS if you wanted it back on Earth intact.
Oh I know. It would be expensive, nobody would pay to do it. But the Smithsonian would get one hell of a display if someone did.
