Sadly, Civil 3D still does not include a tool to find and replace all Styles of all types with a reference to the default Style name Standard.
Note that both the old and new named Styles must exist in the drawing (perhaps by Reference Template attachments) for Style replacement for all objects of a type to work.

You need to pay attention based on your Civil 3D release.
The current versions of the Style Import Tool do not test and/or import all Civil 3D Styles.
For example Sets like Description Key Sets must be imported by drag and drop, the Insert/Explode method, or Reference Template attachments.
