The short answer is you can't.
Each of those long list of apps were compiled against a specific version
of OpenSSL.  Remove that version and they'll all break in different
ways. Some might actually be ok if you fudge library versions with
symlinks, but don't bet on it.
WHat you'll need to do is install the new version of OpenSSL and then
rebuild those apps against it.
