Just tried to transfer 23 domains from GoDaddy to Namecheap but GD denied the transfer on 17 of them. Is there a way around this?

I just went through the long, albeit easy, process of transferring 23 domain names from GoDaddy to Namecheap. However, GoDaddy denied the request for seventeen of the domains because I recently updated the registration contact information for them (it was all my info but some of the addresses & emails were old). I can transfer them in 60 days, but I would rather not wait. Does anyone know if there is a way around this 60-day waiting period? GD support was not helpful at all.

UPDATE

Today I called them to get them unlocked and the girl gave me some BS about their policy, etc and that she couldn't do anything to help. I played the ICANN complaint card and she "went to talk to her supervisor". When she came back she said she would forward my request to another department and that I should receive an email in a few hours with their decision. I just received the following email:

Dear Zooch76,

We have received your inquiry regarding the 60-day hold. The hold was placed on the domain names because you checked the statement, "I have read and agree to the terms and conditions below and understand the domain name cannot be transferred within the next 60 days." This is a step to prevent domain name hijacking.

We have reviewed the domain names and the account and, as a courtesy, we have removed the hold from the domain names listed below.

17 Domains listed here

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Kindest Regards,

Christopher Patterson Disputes Administrator GoDaddy.com, Inc.
