I have a Motorola X 2013 Dev edition unlocked (XT1053) that I'm trying to flash the stock firmware onto after using Cyanogenmod12. However, the process is failing.

When I try to flash gpt.bin, the following error appears on my phone downgraded security version update gpt_main version failed preflash validation failed for GPT Now I've looked into this quite a bit and found that it is caused by Motorola's own security protections. The only thing I can find to get around it is waiting for the new security patches. However, those threads I find are pre dropped support. Cyanogenmod is probably responsible for this since it is still getting security patches. Therefore, there never will be an updated stock to flash. How do I get around this issue? I have a nandroid backup of the phone pre-Cyanogen, but I'd rather just flash a clean stock than use the backup if possible.
