At this point, the EOs are basically a wish list directive to executive departments to try and figure out how to implement. It takes a lot of time for a department to write a policy, get it entered into administrative law, and begin enforcing it (and that's assuming no court challenges and injunctions which there's almost certainly going to be). And even after that, it'd be an absolute clusterfuck for them to even manage to sort through the millions of passports to try and identify which ones have been changed if that data wasn't captured and stored somewhere. And since that likely a design requirement of the system, who knows if that data even exists without comparing it all to decades of transaction logs or database backups.
And tbh, it's unlikely that an EO could even make a change like that to existing US citizens passports unilaterally without legislation granting them that power. At most, they're going to pause and revoke the ability to change name and gender on passports pretty quickly, but trying to reverse changes would be an absolute mess.
