✅ Renaming members across a project

I had some generated classes that looked like this:

[MessagePackObject(true)]
public class AchievementList
{
    public int achievement_id { get; set; }
    public int progress { get; set; }
    public int state { get; set; }
}

[MessagePackObject(true)]
public class AchievementList
{
    public int achievement_id { get; set; }
    public int progress { get; set; }
    public int state { get; set; }
}

where the properties were named in snake_case, because the property name drove what was serialized. I've since decided to re-scaffold them using my script more like

[MessagePackObject]
public class AchievementList
{
    [Key("achievement_id")]
    public int AchievementId { get; set; }

    [Key("progress")]
    public int Progress { get; set; }

    [Key("state")]
    public int State { get; set; }
}

[MessagePackObject]
public class AchievementList
{
    [Key("achievement_id")]
    public int AchievementId { get; set; }

    [Key("progress")]
    public int Progress { get; set; }

    [Key("state")]
    public int State { get; set; }
}

but now obviously everywhere I've used this type won't compile. I now have approximately 8300 errors in my project and I think a simple find and replace won't save me - what are some options to fix the errors? I could possibly write a script to convert all snake_case names to pascal case?
