Partitioning in order to make running multiple distros as convenient as possible

I’m getting this error when I’m trying to change the uid of the 2nd user to match the first

sudo usermod -u 1001 sralxqt                          
usermod: UID '1001' already exists

I’m trying to create a new user. Even that isn’t working.

sudo useradd -u 1001 -g 1001 -m  sraqt 
useradd: UID 1001 is not unique

Edit:
Reading the manual helped. It seems that I have to add an -o option
