Android Studio Upgrade to not-latest version of kotlin plugin - android-studio

I'd like to upgrade the kotlin plugin bundled with Android Studio to a newer version (1.4.30), but not the latest version (1.4.31). The reason is that I think there's a bug with the latest one, but I would still like to use a version of the plugin that's relatively new instead of the one that comes bundled by default with the latest version of Android Studio (1.3.72 - almost a year old).
Is there a way to do this?

How to exclude SNAPSHOT or other dependencies from Android Studio Gradle suggestions

Android Studio prompts to upgrade dependencies when there are newer versions
A newer version of xxx.yyy:yyy-lib than 1.0.1 is available: 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT
However if you "contaminate" the dependencies with a snapshot, it will still prompt to upgrade. How can you tell Android Studio to ignore snapshot dependencies, or even a problematic version?
Can Dependency Resolution be used to filter the versions? https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/dependency_resolution.html

Can't upgrade Android Studio Kotlin plugin to latest (1.4.21)

For some reason I have no option to upgrade my Kotlin plugin to the latest version.
Android Studio shows that the latest (1.4.21) is available:

And suggestions? Is there another way to upgrade?

If you wait long enough, the plug-in updater will finally notice it and offer to upgrade.

This is a known bug with Android Studio Version 4.1.
Your choices are either to downgrade to 4.0, or wait for an update. The issue is with Android Studio, not the plugins.There is no known workaround to make the plugins work until the Android Studio team fixes it.

Force Android Studio to use gradle 4.1

I have downloaded a previous version of Android Studio (3.0.1) since I must use the android gradle plugin version 3.0.1 and gradle 4.1.
The code, and the other modules it depends on, were written using Android Studio 3.2, kotlin 1.3.10 and gradle version 4.10.2
When I try to synchronize the project with the older version of Android Studio (3.0.1) or running gradlew assembleDebug it says the minimum gradle version is 4.6 even though the gradle wrapper version is 4.1 and the gradle plugin version is 3.0.1. The kotlin version for all dependencies was set on 1.2.41
This is the error:
Minimum supported Gradle version is 4.6. Current version is 4.1.
Please fix the project's Gradle settings. Fix Gradle wrapper and
re-import project Gradle settings
How can I compile such project using older the older version?
You have to use newer gradle wrapper and plugin in order to compile your project, if you want to use AS 3.2. So there is two options for you - upgrade wrapper and plugin, or downgrade AS, plugin, wrapper and kotlin in all dependencies.

Cannot find Android studio 3.1 for mac

Unfortunately I have updated my Android studio to 3.2.4 and since then, many issues occured.
I read from the 0.57 Changelog
Android tooling has been updated to match newer configuration
requirements (SDK 27, gradle 4.4, and support library 27); building
with Android plugin 3.2 doesn't work due to the gradle scripts, so
please stay on Android Studio 3.1 for now
Now I can neither downgrade nor download version 3.1.
Old versions are available in Android Studio download archives.
