I have a Swordmaster, but this idiot is wielding a... chestnut short sword. How do I get him to drop his weapon and get a better one? Yes, I've tried dumping/forbidding the weapon, I've tried changing the uniforms on the military screen (with exact matches), but this fucker won't leave it.

First, have you made sure that you re-assigned the new uniform in the military screen, not under the u{n}iforms section but the {e}quip section ({e} then {U}, I think)?  Second, did you give the guy some impetus to pick up the new equipment, such as giving a move order to his squad?

Dumping the thing might work too.

Just remove sword from his assigned equipment on military screen.
Also you can specify material of weapon there.

Quarter, the idiots, for one are dwarves(stupid). 2. They are greedy(Dwarves) 3. To outsmart them, make a new uniform template, without any items. Apply it to him under the equipment screen(N). The dummy will rush off to divest himself of the armor, and weapons. If he is in a multi member squad, and you finally have enough good weapons, of the same material to equip them all, assign this new Uniform to all of them. While they are rushing off to comply with this new uniform, change the old uniform template to remove general materials from the weapon assignment(sword), to whatever better metal weapons you have. Then after they are running around nekky, assign the old uniform to them.

 The basic template is good to start off with, but as before mentioned, dwarves are idiots and greedy. Will try to get the most expensive weapon of that type, not the deadliest material, unless you specify.
The no-item uniform template helps in ridding them of all armor and weapons, especially duplicates of armor.
