How would I replace this garbage with some simple stairs?
Feel free to roast this monstrosity as I have no idea what the builder was thinking.

Also it's 42-43 inches from the floor and I measured some stringers at home depot but they only go to about 32 inches. So I don't know how to proceed

This genuinely looks unsafe

They make 10 step stringers

I just want it all torn down, can I do like 4 or 5 steps that go to the door?

I mean, it's gonna be steep af but sure.

just gotta cut stringers and put some steps on, add a guard rail and risers if you wanna be up to code
standard step height is like 7 inches, tread depth is 10 inches, you're probably looking at like 5 steps
its all just right triangle math

it's gonna be awkward though without a landing.

you can put a vertical ladder there if you don't mind climbing down 4-5 steps
>>
Cut your own stringers.
Use any of the thirty online stair calculators to get measurements.
Buy a few 2x12s and get cutting.

I couldn't imagine going from being a ramp chad to a stairlet. Bleak.
>>

google the stair calculator. fill in height, thickness of steps and whether you want riser boards on the back of the steps
buy a framing square, use the measurements it gives you to use. subtract thickness of step from bottom of first step; subtract riser board from top step.
make one stringer- copy that one to make the other two.
watch several videos on how to make stairs and a landing first, then go back as you are making them and get stuck.
