Persistently squeeky doors

I have a 7-year old house with persistently squeeky hinges on the interior and exterior doors. Lubricating them quiets them briefly (weeks to as short as days). I've tried graphite as well as light oil (Liquid Wrench). When I pull the hinge pins I see alot of deep scarring rings on the pins from the hinges digging into them. This makes me think that when the builder mounted the hinges they were sloppy and didn't worry too much about the hinges all lining up straight with each other. I can't think of a way to slightly adjust the mounting angle of the hinges to get them all straight without it becoming a huge re-work job, and lubricating a bunch of doors every week isn't in the cards either. Any thoughts out there on a solution are appreciated.

lubricate the hinge pins with a semi fluid grease -
a lithium based grease - say - lubriplate. it will offer a film to glide on and if there is a scar, the grease will flow onto/into the scratch.
