God Doesn't Change His Mind
Commentators unanimously explain that God 'repenting' does not mean He changed His eternal mind or plan. Instead, it's 'anthropomorphic' language—describing God's actions in human terms. He changed His declared course of action, relenting from the threatened judgment in response to Moses' intercession. As Matthew Henry notes, it's a 'change in the outward manifestation of His purpose.'
