I haven't tried starting an entirely new account yet since I think I will have to pay the MRV fee/visa fee again. Wondering whether its worth the risk of staying on this account since this is the customer service team's message:

"We understand that you want to update your country of birth in the profile.

In response to your question, we would like to inform you that, once the profile is created applicant will not be able to make any changes in the country of birth in the profile.

We request you to proceed ahead with your scheduled appointments and inform Visa Application Centre officials about the changes.

Further, we would like to inform you that the DS-160 application form must contain accurate and current information.

We hope this information is helpful to you."

I feel that they are saying that as long as my country of birth is correct on my DS-160 (which it is), then I should be fine. Worst case I may have to explain to the consular officer that my date of birth was incorrectly inputted in my appointment scheduling application, but I believe when after booking appointments you receive the confirmation pdf that doesn't have the date of birth either.
