Is it possible that the wiring to some of those fixtures is bad? Too much juice or something? Are there better bulbs to use? Changing the fixtures at this point isn't an easy option so an easier solution would of course be welcomed.

I'd try an LED - they are less vibration dependent. I'd guess you have kids and/or a high traffic area above this location, that is causing the bulbs to break.
IMO I'd try an LED bulb in that location and see how it lasts.
