When I needed to shore up a corner of the foundation of my post and beam barn I needed of course to take the weight off with no good bearing surface available. I drilled two one inch holes through the post and using all thread I secured a piece of full 2x4 inch hardwood vertically to the post. This gave me a purchase point for my forklift. You could attach vertical pieces like I did to your posts, using as many through bolts as needed for the weight. Then use the verticals to rest on horizontal adequately beefy planks going out two feet to each side. This gives you a purchase point near the ground, so then you can take the weight off the posts with a little cribbing and a couple jacks. Then you could cut the deteriorated part off the poles, build a form and pour a concrete block with the steel attachments that they make to go into the concrete,to make a footing for each one, then lower the post back down to it. You could do them one at a time working safely on the ground. It would be a good idea to install two cable or chain safety braces from about ten feet down one post, diagonally up to the roof eaves member to eliminate the tendency that you say that it has now to lean. Once you have it on its new bearings you could install permanent wood or steel diagonal braces. If you think that this looks viable but is not entirely clear post back and maybe I can describe parts a little better.
