I am not on a MacOS, never used GMT, however, how about starting from scratch in a brand new Julia environment and using Conda that comes with PythonCall.jl. This is not about “uninstall everything and reinstall them all over again”, however, it should bring pretty similar results (I have not tried it):

    mkdir path/GMTenv # make a directory for your project environment 
# Start Julia
    julia

    using Pkg
    cd("path/GMTenv") # cd to your project environment
    pwd() # double check if you are in the right directory
    Pkg.activate(".") # activate a new environment
    Pkg.instantiate()
    Pkg.status() # double check if its activated
# Adding and using PythonCall.jl;
    Pkg.add(url="https://github.com/cjdoris/PythonCall.jl.git") # adding master version of PythonCall
