One way:

1. Convert letterforms to outlines. Fill and stroke are preserved.

2. Select all and choose Outline from the Pathfinder panel. This will create shapes that are the combined size of fill and stroke but will remove all color.

3. Re-fill the shapes with the original fill color of the letterforms.
