You can edit the steps and give them any shape you want. Stair structure won´t follow, though, so you could just turn it off and model only steps with the thickness you need.

To keep the structure following the stair, just create one stair and change the boundary on one side so it is at 45°.
Then mirror a copy on this 45° angle and you have your corner stair - or rather 2 stairs.

To illustrate Barry's post, this is modeled using 2 Stair elements - one Stair element, then mirrored along the 45-degree line. You will also need to select the 45-degree Boundary of both Stair instances and Hide it using Pet Palette commands.
