Unlocking index without losing quality? Photoshop

So i am trying to edit an icon pack that has an index lock on it.

I know to unlock it you go to image>mode>rgb color.

However doing this drastically reduces the image quality.

Below is the original still with the index layer:

Apologies the icon above is white (on a white background)!

Here it is unlocked and edited with loss of qaulity:

Any help appreciated.
