Hi Jason, Instead of doing rigid body refinement of each residue, you may consider rigid.inp of CNS or an equivalent strategy in Phenix which will do SA, rigid body and B factor refinement, followed by either composite omit (CNS) or 'prime & switch' of phenix (rather resolve) to "fix" the side chains.
