You don't need to do that. The system vimrc and your personal
_vimrc or .vimrc are read only once, when Vim starts. Other Vim
configuration files are read at deterministic times as well. There
is no problem at all with using Vim to edit any Vim configuration
file.

If there is a problem with a configuration file that prevents Vim
from behaving properly, start vim with the "-u NONE" option. If the
problem is with your .viminfo or _viminfo file and you want to edit
it rather that just blow it away, start Vim with the "-i NONE"
option.
