Someone suggested that I cross post this to see if there is an easy scripting solution to my dilemma. See post link above.

Give it a try

#target Indesign
var toSearch = 'example.ai' //to edit: name of the ai to work on
//select a folder with inddFiles
var selFolder = Folder.selectDialog();
if(!selFolder) {exit();};
var allInddFiles = selFolder.getFiles('*.indd');
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
for(var i = 0; i < allInddFiles.length; i++)
{
    currItem = allInddFiles;
var currDoc = app.open(currItem);
changeAI(currDoc);
}
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;
function changeAI(docRef)
{
var currGraphics = docRef.allGraphics;   
    l = currGraphics.length;
    while(l--){
        currGraphic = currGraphics;
var currName =   currGraphic.itemLink.name;
if(currName == toSearch){
currGraphic.horizontalScale = 30;
currGraphic.verticalScale = 30;
currGraphic.parent.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT)
    }
            }
        currDoc.close(SaveOptions.YES);
        }
