I have 2 D800s and unfortunately they only work in studio....

Am I glad to read that ! Congratulations !

My suspiscion is that you won't be able to, for the pure and simple reason that you've just got your D800. IMO Nikon has found what caused the root of the AF miscalibration, and I'm seriously starting to wonder if there is not more to it than just obvious misfocus with the left most sensor. What I mean is that there may also have been some other issue which affect AF accuracy with all sensors. It would be a separate problem which may or may not be present regardless of whether the leftmost AF is properly calibrated. I know it's a bit of speculation but there are just too many reports from experienced photographers with the same feedback. And where there is smoke ...

All I know for sure is that not all D800 are affected (mine seems fine, and, again, likely not any bought recently). Here is something else I know for sure: Nikon will let its customers in the dark if there is really an issue with AF sensors on some cameras (even a significant number of cameras). No notice to customers asking them to evaluate the AF, no statement reassuring its customers it will fix the problem, ... just silence hoping the storm will just pass and die
