Shell Script to replace tokens in multiple files

I have multiple script files that I have created, that allow me to simply replace a few tokens at the top of the file, and then not have to go through the actual script and change anything. I have about 10 of them, but I was hoping to find a way to write a small script that would allow me to input what value I want those tokens to hold, and then run that script, and it would go through all the scripts I have and replace the tokens with the values I input in to the first script.

Not sure if I explained it very well, but here's an example.

replaceScript.sh -

serverScript1.sh
serverScript2.sh
serverScript3.sh

when I run replaceScript.sh, I'd like to be able to input, say, 5 variables(var1-var2-...var5), then the replaceScript.sh will go through and replace those same variables that have been set in serverScript1-3, with the values I input in to the replaceScript.sh
