I just had this same issue.

A workaround is to change the resource's Logical ID to force the resource's replacement.
Part of the issue is that you cannot update the name of the EventDestination so changing the name requires a replacement, which it is not doing.

Worth noting also that documentation is also incorrect for this. It states Update requires: No interruption - but this should be Update requires: Replacement when it is replacing the resource correctly.
