Well, after all this time, the "solution" is that they have a firmware upgrade (6.5.5.18) that provides a *different* self-signed certificate in response to a TLS request.
You still cannot use PKI.
The documentation for the WC7500 certificate page still says "This page lets you to add certificates to WC7500." (not English)
The documentation for the Password field still says "This is the password for WC7500 Certificates" (certificates don't have passwords)
The documentation for the Controller Key field still says "Enter the Controller Key", etc. (not even slightly helpful)
If you tell it to boot or update "now" it schedules it for some time in the future or past, depending on your current offset from GMT.
This firmware is such a hack on its surface it is impossible to trust that it is appropriate, in terms of security, reliability, or functionality, to use in any professional environment.

Hi beezer
We have to clearly understand use case here.
Few questions please:
Why do you need SSL certificate to be changed ?
Are you using internal radius server ?
What are all the certificates that you are trying to install in controller ?
Thanks,
Raghu

Microsoft CA/PKI generated 2k certificates and rood/sub-ordinate CA cert I'd say.

Not sure I should laugh or cry RaghuHR ...
