Stripping Hungary of its voting rights is difficult, because there is no legal framework to do so. The EU is a federation like the USA, except that the member states are absolutely sovereign. The EU has no authority over any member state, and work only gets done with the agreement of each member state.
Several EU members have been pushing towards more authority for the EU, for instance to allow decisions to be taken by a majority of states instead of unanimously, which members than would be required to follow. Other member states have been strongly against that. Stripping Hungary of its voting rights would mean a radical step towards more authority for the EU. Such a step would, ironically, require the agreement of Hungary.
This is why the EU is politically weak, while it is economically very strong. For this reason, some believe that the feet of mixed iron and clay that Daniel saw in his vision in the Bible, belonging to the statue of the empires of the future, represent the EU.
But this shouldn't matter too much. The reason aid through the EU is better than individual member states is because of the ECB, which could manage large sums of money given to Ukraine better than member states. Also it allows member states to hide anonymously behind "The EU" and not risk being targeted directly by Putin.
