I would just edit the nameserver glue recs and enter the new IPs and add 
the new IPs to the zone. If the nameservers are .com, .net or .org the 
roots will pick up the new glue within a few minutes, after about 10 
days the TTLs on your root glue will expire and you can remove the old 
IPs from your firewall rules.

You change your root glue recs for your nameservers via your registrar 
for the parent domain.
