SQLite -- Issue dropping columns, SQLite/Laravel providing incorrect errors

In my structure, I have several enum columns. I was unaware that SQLite cannot use enum, so when someone dropped a complaint that migration was failing I found out the hard way.

To remedy the issue, I'm creating a migration file that drops and replaces the existing enum columns with new string columns that are given integrity through mutators in the model.

The problem is, SQLite is complaining about non-existent columns when dropping the old ones, even though I know that they exist and that the drop works.

        // SQLite cannot use the Enum data type, so we're going to change these to strings.
        Schema::table('options', function(BLueprint $table)
        {
            if (Schema::hasColumn('options', 'format'))
            {
                $table->dropColumn('format');
            }
            
            if (Schema::hasColumn('options', 'data_type'))
            {
                $table->dropColumn('data_type');
            }
            
            if (Schema::hasColumn('options', 'option_type'))
            {
                $table->dropColumn('option_type');
            }
        });

If I run this multiple times, I get a different error, and then it works.

So somewhere along the way, either SQLite or Eloquent is bullshitting me. Either those columns don't exist when I ask if they exist, and then it doesn't lie the 2nd time I ask, or Eloquent is successfully dropping the columns and reporting an error for no reason.

Any input at all is welcomed.
