One huge time saver for you might be to move into using annotative dimensions.  By the sound of it you currently may not be.  That would immediately take all the "scale factor" stuff totally out of the equation.  It may mean a bit of stress and work up front, but long term it'll pay off big.
 
I can see the problem more clearly now when you explain different styles for various scale factors!

Believe it or not we can not use annotative dimensions with this client. For some unknown reason when we use annotative dims and try to put the drawing into the clients server it screws all dims/text up. We tried, very unsuccessfully, using annotative dimensions.

Too bad. 
 
Then we've circled back to where we were about midway in this thread.  Let's see the macro code you've tried so far.  Short of a LISP routine that looks like the way you're going to have to go.  But it's not going to be automagic... I have a feeling you'll still be doing them one at a time.
