Why do you want to do that? If a client has an old OCSP response with an
expired algorithm, then the client could simply request a new OCSP
response.

If the old OCSP response is that important that you must reuse it, then
you may use timestamps.

I think it would be a big performance burden on the OCSP responder if it
would be forced to sign the response multiple times.
