How much is it worth to you for it to be correct? Not much.
How much is it worth for them to get it correct? Apparently a lot.
Tell them they can bring the laptop to you or cover the cost for you to drive to them. Or ask if it can be done via email or fax.
"They"screwed something up on a 4473 of mine a couple of years ago, so they called and asked if I could come in and correct it. They couldn't do it by word of mouth so I drove 2 miles over there and made the slight change. They gave me a brick of .22s for my trouble.
Nowadays, brick of ammo or nothing, it pays in the big picture of things to help them be scrupulous about 4473s. While you and I understand that "everybody makes mistakes," the ATF apparently does not.
Name change error?
My understanding is that under common law, your name is whatever you hold out to the public and the only reason for going to court is to convince "people" to change their records. I had a similar case when I came out to Colorado. When Colo DMV asked for my full name I recited it with my two middle names and son of a gun if they didn't put both on the license so it came out on two lines:
Terrance First middle name
Peter Family surname.
The second middle name was one I gave myself at my confirmation at age 12-13 or whenever, so it ended up looking like two full names.
In those days you could do this, I just asked them to re-issue if with just my first and last names and they did it, no big deal. Nowadays you'd probably have to take a truth serum and cheek swab and lie detector test to make a simple change like that.
Hey, think Marion Morrison.

And last but not least, the immortal Norma Jeane Mortenson.
