You got "concrete termites" and they are viscous.
Will destroy steps in a few years. Best bet is to rent a jack hammer and do it over.
I had a similar situation and ended up building all new from pressure treated concrete. Almost looks like wood.
Yeah, the best bet for the long run is total replacement. I had this same issue with a rental property, and "fixed" it a couple times, but if there is any rebar or wire caging in there that has rusted (which there usually is), you are just buying time from year to year. I got lucky in my situation and was able to find an appropriate size pre-fab staircase that worked, so no need to re-pour--just remove the old and set the new in place.
