How can you payback CPF OA accrued interest due to housing loan?

I was wondering if it is possible to just payback the accrued interest per year to my own OA account. Was searching in the CPF website and the only 2 options to topup CPF is via RSTU or make contribution for OA,SA and MA together.
Is there an option to just payback the accrued interest in OA every year to prevent the accrued interest from snowballing?
Or can you only payback the accrued interest when you sell the HDB apartment?

Upon paying the accrued interest using cash, does that mean the $$ go back to OA or SA? Will that add to your cash out payment after putting aside retirement fund at 55?
