Answer: you don't.
This is a trade-off that we will have to deal with later on during a console life. If in the past we could just swap storage and the hardware would still be viable, with the upcoming generation we will have to trow away a fully working console just because the SSD failed and is soldered on the motherboard.
Given that we have no idea of the life expectancy of the SSD solutions used by MS and Sony, I think this issue will bite us back with the used hardware market.
