My 2007 Sienna has the same problem, a blown LED. Luckily it lights a part of the dash I don't need often.

I don't understand how LEDs can blow out, they're solid state and should last nearly forever.

Probably less the LEDs themselves and more the circuits powering them. Too much current can blow out an LED the same way it can blow out an incandescent. Solid state doesn't protect the diodes from heat damage.
