I don't think this can be done - once you've set a field up to use it's own option set, you can't change it to use a shared one instead, just as you can't change the field type or schema name after it's committed to the database.

If you've got a shared option set ready, it shouldn't be too big a deal to delete the field and re-create it with the shared option set. You would most likely lose the data which was in this field previously, though.

If this is an issue, consider exporting the data before making the change and then importing it back in, though I'm not sure of the exact details of how this would work.
