You could programatically access each My Site site collection, then access
the root web in each and run the ApplyTheme method
SPWeb.ApplyTheme("*Theme_ID*")
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spweb.applytheme.aspx
Alternatively use a Lapointe custom STSADM extension
http://stsadm.blogspot.com/2008/01/apply-theme.html and use a batch file
with one line for each My Site url. So this will switch the theme for the
existing My Sites, unfortunately newly created My Sites will still need to
have their theme switched. You could make use of a Feature Stapling Feature
which will set the theme when new My Sites are provisioned as discussed here
-

Ishai's suggestion actually seems like a lot less work and development, as
it caters for both existing My Sites and newly provisioned ones with a
single control.
