That's much less work than you think - if I set my interwiki bot to work on it (it already has settings for it, actually), I will have things fixed in about 2 days. Although I would suppose that some languages would get angry with me for flooding recent changes....
Indeed, you'll probably get blocked, most likely somewhere halfway. Also, you take to take into account that a lot of interwikilinks are pointing to the wrong things. For example, the Japanese articles about years have a Japanese character after the name, but in som wiki's, all interwikilinks are pointing to the wrong articles, the ones about numbers. Also, some wikis have turned the years into redirects to decades, and some of those decades are already spread around in the years.
I did a bot-run on the years (a lot of small ones actually) in july, ranging from -500 up to 2060, and I found a lot of really stupid mistakes and silly things: like making an typo, which off course makes it ambigious. I fixed a lot of things, but there's still a lot of mistakes out there...
