Select one file, do get info, and in the Open With section, when you

all' should un-gray. Clicking on this should change all your BBEdit
files to work with TextWrangler.
Be careful. . . That may look only at the extension on the file.
Remember OS neXt came from Next, Inc. which never had type and
creator.
Apple's developer tools come with these command line tools:
GetFileInfo pathtofile
SetFile -t TEXT -c R*ch pathtofile
which will show type and creator and make the changes so that they
will stick even if a file is moved over onto a machine running
classic OS. The two tools will work OK even if other developer tools
are not installed. It's trivial to use them in a BBEdit worksheet but
they can also be persuaded to do things with a "do shell script" in
AppleScript. You can use file name globbing to get a batch effect.
Also don't use Always Open With on a single file. OS neXt will add 50
kB to each file while it adds icons to the resource fork.
