The replacement tuner idea is worth considering, Hipshot does awesome work and are super helpful/easy to work with. You don't need to go quite as heavy as a 70, but it wouldn't hurt.
Yeah, Hipshot makes great tuners. I have the Open Gear ones on my Baritone.
To the OP - do you have a Floyd Rose?
It sounds like maybe another guitar would be worth investing the time in if you have locking tuners and shit like that.
For A# I'd get a 7 string set and just not use the High E or I think D-Addario makes some good baritone sets.
