Is it possible to amend these norms, or could the international framework that supports them be modified to allow derogation or have a negative impact on them?
Yes, but you’d need to convince an international court that your case warrants it.

I was more asking if international frameworks could be changed to allow derogation in general, not on a case-by-case basis.

Yes, that is technically possible.
You might want to dig deeper into sources on jus cogens norms to get more insight into their evolution and status.

Even a quick read of sources like Wikipedia will tell you that peremptory norms are not fully catalogued and evolve with case law and changing social norms.
