I finally am able to generate early bound class with a filtered set of entities and error free option set. I found the bulk of my answer through this thread, so thanks guys. The problem though is it's difficult to compile all of the various suggestions into something that actually... compiles. So I thought I'd post my final solution for the benefit of others, here's what worked for me.
I used Erik Pool's, Manny Grewal's, and Peter Majeed's solution for outputting only distinct enums with proper values, then combined that with Gaurav Dalal's solution (updated by JFK007 to fix the cast error) to re-write the SetAttributeValue that caused the (int)(value) error. And as an added bonus, I used the same solution for filtering distinct option sets to also filter for distinct option set values (which was an issue in my org).
The result is a class library containing CodeWriterFilter and CustomizeCodeDomService, the cmd batch file to run CrmSvcUtil.exe, and the filter.xml to filter the entities.
In your class library add references to CrmSvcUtil.exe, Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk, and System.Runtime.Serialization then compile the dll and copy it to the same the folder as your CrmSvcUtil.exe. Use the command I've included to reference your new assembly and build the early bound class file.

GenerateOptionSetmethod, but anyway, hopefully Guarav's answer will yield an answer. – Overrefinement
