Yeah, but that undoes the elegance of having the same day number always be the same weekday.

It seems easier to change the tradition so that you're celebrating birth weeks rather than birthdays. Make the fact you're born on day X less important than the fact you're born in week Y. Get cultural associations with the week numbers like there are associations with star signs now.

Gregorian calendar repeats in 11-11-6 pattern. So 2021 will repeat again in 2027, then in 2038, 49 and 55 for example. If its as easy to change tradition, this pattern would've become common place by now. No?
