You don’t need to provide special tooling, you only have to provide the source code of your own program so that the program can be recompiled with a different version of the LGPL-licensed library.
Your source code can be released under another license, even a proprietary license, provided that the user can physically undertake the necessary steps to produce a new executable that interoperates with an updated or modified version of the LGPL-licensed package. The idea is that the LGPL-licensed portion of the final runtime program should itself be open source in the sense of being modifiable in a useful way by the end user.
