Perhaps you could do this automatically by applying the technique to
every part for which the name only includes the words "brick", "plate"
or "tile"? It must also include some kind of "2 x 4" notion, but if
it does not contain anything else, it is probably prone to
simplifying.
Simplifying one of these elements could consist of removing the studs
and then calculate the bounding box. If you replace the whole part
with this bounding box, you would end up with a lot of simplification.
For added realism, you could add the studs again to what's left of the
part, namely the bounding box.
