I believe that sup-tweak-labels is the thing you want to use.
It's been a long time since I tried it but I do recall
I was able to do what you're trying to do.  Make sure
you use --dry-run first to make sure you don't wreck
things.

The best strategy I've found is to dump the inbox, do a manual search replace
on the appropriate range of the inbox tag, and then load it back up again.
