 If he is listed in the domain as owner , he can call them on the phone,
it will take half an hour, but they will change it for him.

[This is also a really good reason NOT to list an email address that
contains the registered domain as contact address, but i see people do it
all the time ,yeash ;]

Of course, if you have IP's available...a 'nameserver' from that point of
view is no more than a zone claiming authority and listing itself as the
authorative nameserver (in agreement with the root servers of course)

I don't understand how this helpes tho, if his domain lists some other set
of nameservers, he still needs to change them, in which case he might as
well just point them to your current nameservers, if his domain lists
other nameservers that he can't change, then how are you going to pretend
to be those nameservers?

or am i missing something?
