I thought the issue isn't that cells are becoming damaged, it's that the DNA is losing its "code" over time? I really doubt we'll have robots that can repair actual DNA

You don't "cure" damaged DNA that way. The genetic code itself is what is causing the damage. You need to be able to manipulate that code to prevent damage or to repair itself. Tiny robots aren't going to do that in 8 years.
