Are you allowed to hint ?
Try:

/*+ no_index (alias, index_name) */

I have a query that uses bind variables, so it cannot use histograms. Its choosing the wrong index. I have been dropping the index, getting it to choose the correct index and using a stored outline.

anyway to go: oracle ignore this index.

I tried disabled, but that just returns an error, plus I have to rebuild it. I'd prefer to avoid building the index again.
