To do it correctly, it needs to be done fro. The tip down, so the guides would all need to be removed and re-done. That being said, a better option, is remove cord, and put reel seat fron the back, abd cork tape grip covered in heat shrink.

try x-wrap over the seine cord first...
may just save you some headaches...

Strip the blank and start all over? What would a project like this cost?

Truline c5x.

you could also remove the swine and use a reel seat and a slick butt , with out removing the guides . or a composite butt..

What is the diameter of the blank at the butt and where the front of your foregrip will end?

Another choice that does not include stripping the blank would be a cork puppy or similar clamp the cord. If you need a foam fore grip try two layers of the Cal Star cork tape and the Batson heat shrink over it. Then use 1 layer of the thinner cork tape for the rest of the rod. Add the correct clamp and try it. If you do it this way and don't like and really need a reel seat you can strip the rod and rebuild it the way you want it.

To rewrap a rod, the cheapest I have charged has been 150$, and the most was 300$. It depends on a lot of things.

2nd option:
if you're happy with the existing seat, cut off cord, redo with corktape and Xwrap over or use with corktape.

It could be done..

If you need to replace reel seat with Hypalon
top and bottom of reel seat, recommend rewrap.

reel seat and bottom Hypalon can be done through bottom.
Or I do it with "Cold shrink tube" little costly.

I am at Lomita.90717

Could be done from the bottom depending on the diameter of the blank.
