You can use llGiveInventory from a script to give itself, or another script, to every prim in the object, using llGetLinkKey to get the key of each prim.

They won't be running once you've done that, but if you then take the whole object back into inventory, then rez it, select it and "Set Scripts To Running In Selection", they will be.

There's an example of a script which uses it to check inventory permissions for all prims in a linkset here:

You can also use llRemoteLoadScriptPin(), but only if the PIN has already been set for the prims. That makes it a little less convenient, but it can still be useful if you want to update a script often in all prims of an object or all attachments of a prim avatar, for example.

small warning, llRemoteLoadScriptPin suffers in the one aspect that each prim in the linkset that you intend to give a script to must have already set a script pin, so it's no good for giving scripts to a prim not already initialized... if you need to do that you'll need to use ordinals method. I've used something similar to pass a link message testing rig throughout a build.
