Perhaps an interesting way to approach ability score boosting items and spells is to change them into modifiers like circumstance, deflection, and morale called Ability (XXXX).
heres my thinking.
You wear a belt of strength, have bull strength cast on you or gain some other ability that increases your strength. Instead of granting you an enhancement to strength the spell or item instead grants an Ability (strength) bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, strength based skill checks and combat maneuver rolls.
To incorporate this you would have to edit all spells and items that provide these sorts of bonuses but it would make book-keeping easier. you could even add in clauses stating that the bonus from intelligence does not affect skill selection.
Thoughts?
