No, there's no work-around. You could try renumbering by hand in the 
.top and final .gro structures, but I don't know if this works. In 
simple cases there's only a numerical offset for you to remember. If 
you're having to refer to literature references to residue 432 or such, 
then make yourself a lookup table and keep it handy.
