I'm likely to break something. And because tenth of Tor users, an
estimated 200000 people are in the same situation, I would go as far as
suggesting that maintaining 7.5.6 with an updated core is a reasonable
request, and yet I'm only asking for manual instructions.

sense to me as the most critical issues are in the browser.
Anyway, if that's really what you want to do, then you could just download
the Tor expert bundle from
https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html.en, run tor, and then
configure your browser to use an existing tor process by setting the
`TOR_SKIP_LAUNCH`, `TOR_SOCKS_PORT` and `TOR_CONTROL_PORT` environment
variables:
