Why couldn't they make him a 30 year old HS drop out living in his Uncle's trailer home?

I think the problem is that all of the other "kid" actors are so old now that casting someone who's age-appropriate for Eddie wouldn't have looked right for being the guy who's on his third attempt at graduating high school.
As it is, he's actually a year younger than the actor who plays Steve. All of the older "kid" actors are in their late 20s and Steve is 30. The younger "kids" are all over 18 now except for the actor who plays Will, who turns 18 in October.
Eddie is supposed to be older than the rest of the group, so they couldn't really cast someone who's the same age as Dustin, Max, and Mike, who are all 20 now.
