Just in case anyone reads this at some point, there is aluminum framing under the door. The fix is to weld some 1-1/2 inch angle iron extensions onto the step, remove the door and frame, bolt the extensions to the frame, put the door back on with butyl putty tape.

The pressed-board wood-rot was the manufacturer's shortcut to support the step. I am using a PT 2x4 to fill the area where the rot was, and use shims to make the floor level, and fill in gaps with Minwax wood filler. Before I put the step back on, I am using Flex Mend Mending Kit to seal the bottom.
