Not 100% sure this is safe to try, but you can back up with SMS back up +.
They will appear as SMS via a new menu on the left side of your Gmail inbox on a pc, after your first back up. I am sure you can edit as well as read them on a pc. I haven't looked in months.

If you then delete all on the phone, you can restore what you have left from your pc via your Google account.

Check with the app developers information pages.
