I've started a new project where the MEOR modeled some of the design content in Fabrication Parts so I can't bring it in like native Revit content and convert to my services.  Does anyone know of a cheat code to get either back to native revit content or bootleg their service in or my services into their file so that it can be swapped without having to re-draw it all?

Challenging problem for sure. You could make the GUID of your database match whatever the GUID is of the database that is in the Revit project. Id do this in a sandbox but you'd probably have a permanent copy of your Database since you wont be able to change its GUID back to your normal one. From there you could theoretically reload configuration and bring in your Services. Would be very interested in the results if you try this.

Possibly export it all as .maj, revdesign in CAD, Fill3D, deleted Fab parts in Revit and purge database. Load your database and importmaj. Importmaj is very hit and miss. Seems to fail more often then not.

On the newer versions of Revit, didnt they remove the import option?
Davids you tube on how to find the GUID as described above. :)
