Fixing "Invalid OpCode" Truffle Error with Openzeppelin Library Installed

Hi. I am new to blockchain development. I am currently using Solidity + Truffle + Ganache on VS Code. I am also using the Openzeppelin Library.

So I created this very simple contract that basically is an ERC20 Token (code below):

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.20;

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";

contract SampleToken is ERC20 {

    constructor () ERC20 ("Sample Token", "SAMPLE") {
        _mint(msg.sender, 100000000 * 10 ** decimals());
    }

}

Here is my truffle.config.js:

/**
 * Use this file to configure your truffle project. It's seeded with some
 * common settings for different networks and features like migrations,
 * compilation, and testing. Uncomment the ones you need or modify
 * them to suit your project as necessary.
 *
 * More information about configuration can be found at:
 *
 * https://trufflesuite.com/docs/truffle/reference/configuration
 *
 * Hands-off deployment with Infura
 * --------------------------------
 *
 * Do you have a complex application that requires lots of transactions to deploy?
 * Use this approach to make deployment a breeze ๐Ÿ–๏ธ:
 *
 * Infura deployment needs a wallet provider (like @truffle/hdwallet-provider)
 * to sign transactions before they're sent to a remote public node.
 * Infura accounts are available for free at ๐Ÿ”: https://infura.io/register
 *
 * You'll need a mnemonic - the twelve word phrase the wallet uses to generate
 * public/private key pairs. You can store your secrets ๐Ÿค in a .env file.
 * In your project root, run `$ npm install dotenv`.
 * Create .env (which should be .gitignored) and declare your MNEMONIC
 * and Infura PROJECT_ID variables inside.
 * For example, your .env file will have the following structure:
 *
 * MNEMONIC = <Your 12 phrase mnemonic>
 * PROJECT_ID = <Your Infura project id>
 *
 * Deployment with Truffle Dashboard (Recommended for best security practice)
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * Are you concerned about security and minimizing rekt status ๐Ÿค”?
 * Use this method for best security:
 *
 * Truffle Dashboard lets you review transactions in detail, and leverages
 * MetaMask for signing, so there's no need to copy-paste your mnemonic.
 * More details can be found at ๐Ÿ”Ž:
 *
 * https://trufflesuite.com/docs/truffle/getting-started/using-the-truffle-dashboard/

  //     name: "indexeddb",
  //     settings: {
  //       directory: ".db"
  //     }
  //   }
  // }
};

Here is my migrations file:

const Migrations = artifacts.require ("SampleToken");

module.exports = function(_deployer) {
// Use deployer to state migration tasks.

_deployer.deploy (Migrations);

};

... basically a very basic contract. Baby steps.

It compiles fine but when I execute truffle migrate to deploy the contract, i get the following results from the terminal:

It says "Invalid OpCode"

As per my googling abilities, it is because of "The error "invalid opcode" can occur when deploying a contract to Ganache due to the PUSH0(0x5f) opcode, which is only supported on ETH mainnet. Other chains can't find this opcode, which can cause the error."

Subsequently, I am recommended to lower my solidity version to a version that is lower than 0.8.20.

However, the Openzeppelin Library's pragma is set to this version. It is a hassle to manually edit the actual files one by one. Possible solution, but very naive. Is there a way to circumvent this error, or, well, edit the pragmas all at once if no code solution is possible?
