You could wash them with something blue and not-quite-color-fast, which would leave him with lavender pjs.
In any case, at his age, he won't be in them long. I'm showing my raised-by-Depression-babies colors, I suspect, in saying it, but it really goes against my grain to discard perfectly functional clothes...
If the staining is non uniform / unaesthetic, would the RIT colour remover work on it? (After all, I assume that after he outgrows them, you will sell/give way/FreeCycle/otherwise reuse, rather than just tossing?) If it is uniform or the colour remove doesn't work, maybe dye them a darker colour? «shrugs» I've no kids, and tend to wear cloths until they have holes that make them pretty much useless... so take with grain of salt?
