Have you tried using "Text" -> "Detab..." from the main menu? That strips tabs from a file. Note, however, that if you use some value other than BBEdit's default of "4" as the number of tab spaces to be "detabbed," you will need to adjust the tab value in "View" -> "Text Display" -> "Show Fonts" to match your detabbing intention. That's a manual procedure, though, which means you'll have to do that manually for each file you want to detab.

It can be automated using Apple events with a script added to the Scripts palette and, optionally, actuated with a key command:

        tell application "BBEdit"
          tell front window
            set tab width to 8
            detab its text
          end tell
        end tell
