RE: 2.85mm upgrade
You would need a 2.85mm extruder and revised firmware

For all intents and purposes, you can't. It would require profound modifications to hotend, extruder, Bowden tube, firmware, slicer software that there wouldn't be much left of your Mini but the heatbed and gantry.
RE: 2.85mm upgrade
You would be better off just buying a used 2.85 printer or selling the filament.

This. The juice simply isn't worth the squeeze. Return the filament, sell it, or just throw it away would be my suggestion.
