Obviously you can’t rename “alex” to “alex” so you need to rename “1001” to “1000” instead. This answer appears to work for you:
Read the entire Q&A but in summary (if you agree it works for you) use:
find / -gid 1001 ! -type l -exec chgrp 1000 {} \;
You might also want to change the group name for GID 1001 to “alex2”. This will make it easier to spot files you may have missed.
