If you need to edit the Payer's ID, you will have to do it in the Federal tax interview. To do this, you may very well have to delete the form from your return and clear/start over your state return.

Why is this the case? The information in the state tax file is transferred from the federal tax file. Once it is transferred to the state file, you cannot "change" that information in the state interview process - in a manner of speaking, it has been "written in ink" on the forms. You have to either correct the information in the federal interview or, if that doesn't work, delete the form, clear/start over the state interview and then re-enter it in the federal interview
