The problem with putting grab bars in all stalls is that the standard, non-handicap stall is not wide enough to qualify as an ambulatory stall. So, the owner could be held liable for an injury incurred by someone using the stall. I don't think any contractor, designer, or code writer would be willing to deviate from the detailed specifications in the Federal ADA law.
One thing that may help would be to place signs on the handicap stalls reminding people that they are only for use by handicapped individuals.
