Well, you can delete the symbolic link, create a directory /dev/shm and
mount a new tmpfs there:
   rm /dev/shm
   mkdir /dev/shm
   mount -t tmpfs -o size=1G tmpfs /dev/shm

I did this once or twice to compile a package the tests of which would
otherwise fail. I do not know what happens if you reboot; each time,
I reverted the changes with
   umount /dev/shm
   rmdir /dev/shm
   ln -s /run/shm /dev/shm
