I think the short answer to your question is, pretty hard? Other than just changing the providers, you'd need to change each of the associated resources to the other providers resources.

Resources in Terraform are not provider agnostic. Instead they are very specific to their providers. For example, if you wanted to create an instance using the AWS Provider, you'd use the aws_instance resource. If you wanted to create an instance using the Google Cloud Provider, you'd use the google_compute_instance.
