GIB plays Stayman and Transfers on in this position, so it doesn't have a way to escape with a balanced hand.

However, there's not much point to Stayman, since it needs more points than North can have on this auction. The rule for showing a long minor has higher precedence than garbage stayman, so it won't even bid 2 with 4=4=5=0 shape, it will redouble and bid the diamonds.

What are opener's possible actions after a redouble?

Sounds like they must bid 2 so GIB can sign-off in a minor. which would be ok.
