I don't know whether he meant it, but Pence already said he was getting out of politics. So he can resign and Trump can pick a new VP.
There must be some mechanism to replace a VP though. Under normal circumstances, if the VP were to fall ill and pass away, the president would need a new VP. Whatever rules dictate that would seem reasonable for replacing a VP who has resigned or was arrested.
