I want to delete a UID from keyserver.

The key server software does not allow deleting a key, or a userid
from a key, because of the way key servers sync keys.

The only option is to revoke the key, or add a new userid saying
not to use the old user id.

You can't delete a UID. That is characteristic of the OpenPGP concept
and how key servers are designed. Indeed, nothing can be deleted from a
key server. See my <http://www.rossde.com/PGP/pgp_keyserv.html#noremove>.

Furthermore, you can't do anything about a UID unless it is your key.
That is, you can't add a UID to someone else's key.

You can revoke a UID on your own key by revoking your signature on that
UID.
