Multiple ScriptManager on Master and Content Pages

So basically, I have a master page and hundreds of content pages. Every content page contains ToolKitScriptManager. Right now, I want to add ScriptManager on the master page and when I try to execute, error shows "Only one instance of a ScriptManager can be added to the page."

I know that I have to comment/remove every ToolKitScriptManager line on each content page. But for some reason, I can't edit hundreds of content pages just to remove those ToolkitScriptManager code.

What I want to ask, is there any solution so I can disable ToolkitScriptManager (on content page) from master page's behind code programmatically so I don't have to edit my hundreds of content pages?

EDIT:

From this answer's question: How to use AJAX in master page when content pages have ScriptManager? , there are 3 ways he could give. The last way is impossible because I still have to edit the content pages. However, I don't get what he wrote about the first and second way. If I have to wrap Content Page's ToolKitScriptManager with this:

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="PlaceHolderID" runat="server" >>
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

then the Master Page's ScriptManager will override the Content Page's ToolKitScriptManager. Correct me if I was wrong. And if I was right, the first/second way is also impossible because still have to edit the content pages, right?

in your master page, handle your script manager's on Init and remove the toolkit script managers from the content page each time your master page's script manager loads:

MasterPage ASPX:

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" OnInit="ScriptManager1_Init"></asp:ScriptManager>

MasterPage Code Behind:

protected void ScriptManager1_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        foreach (Control _ctrl in ContentPlaceHolder1.Controls)
        {

            if (_ctrl.GetType() == typeof(AjaxControlToolkit.ToolkitScriptManager))
            {
                ContentPlaceHolder1.Controls.Remove(_ctrl);
                break;
            };
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
    }
}
