I've got a box of black Sharpie markers,
purchased several years ago. They have
dried out, so they don't write properly. Is
there something I can add, some solvent,
to make them write again? Drill a hole in
the barrel, and drip some solvent in?

Permanant or non permanant type?

If permanant, I suspect the solvent would cost more (as a sum of capital
cost and messing about time) than new pens!

If non permanant, a few drops of water may do the trick - it may be enough
to stand the nib end in a glass of water overnight, then remove and leave
for another day to sort itself out.
