The only safest way would be to have one of these users to be logged out and to have no process running. Then you'll be able to modify its account ids and then change the ownership of its home directory tree. There might be issues with files that user owns in common directories like /tmp and /var/tmp as there would be no implicit way to sort out the real owner. Beware also of files stored in archives / backups as the owner would also be wrong.
