Doing it one-by-one would certainly driver users insane.

It seems that is more of an interface issue.  One could imagine a single
dialog that would allow the examination and approval of multiple
certificates.

Now, granted, that would be more cumbersome, and one could imagine
potential attempts to sneak in an unrecognized certificate in a longer
list, but it would at least be something to consider.
