Numerous ways, all painfully slow from the current Presidential-administration timescale, but blisteringly fast on an evolutionary timescale. Gengineered critters that float in the clouds and gnaw on sulfuric acid, crapping out sulfur crystals that rain to the ground is one way. Another woudl be to process the sulfuric acid in an industrial way, and launch it into Venusian orbit. Make 0.5-meter diameter moons out of it, and slowly, slowly build a ring around the planet that would help shield it from the sun. If you can make dirt-cheap expendable rockets that use a sulfur-based solid fuel, overwrapped with a suflur-based plastic fiber, witha  big chunk of sulfur payload in the nose, then you might really have something. A carbon/sulfur compound launched into Venus orbit would be best... solve two problems at once.


If you are willing to think really long term, then you can imagine moving, say, Europe from Jupiter orbit into Venusian orbit. Transfer the water from Europa to Venus; transfer the sulfur from Venus to Europa.
