What do you mean by "stylistic deficiencies?" What fraction of the deficiencies is the coder equivalent of semantic quibbling (e.g. naming things or differences of opinion that have trivial impact on the code) versus something relevant?

Seems to me this is an opportunity for you as a senior developer to exercise some leadership: convene the team for a review and discussion about the style guides. The focus ought to be reinforcing alignment on the purpose of the guides, expectations about following them, and evaluating the items in them for relevance and importance.
