It was already at ISO 3200 and the lens was usually wide open or close
to it at f/2.8 or f/3.2. There's no more headroom except to use an even
faster shutter speed and seriously underexpose by about 2 stops.
Pulling an image out of the ISO 3200 shadows will not likely be pretty.
50 and 85mm primes would have gotten 93% of the shots and a 35mm would
have gotten the rest. All are available in f/1.4... at a price.
Swapping lenses in the dark and fast enough to go with the flow would be
difficult at best.
