I'd be inclined to just call it a line-up violation under 7-2-2 and access a point/loss of serve penalty. That would have been the penalty had your partner caught it when s/he should have during the pre-game lineup check.
Award the penalty point, correct the lineup card, and let's play volleyball.
Note there is no authority to go back and cancel any previous points or access a penalty for violations during the 5 previous rotations - including any rotations in which the improperly listed player may have served. Once there is a sideout and the opposing team has served, any points scored by an improper server stand.
