YOu can even do it if your players had straight 20 stats to start with. So if a 72 point build makes them the equivelant of +2 CR, give them +2 CR encounters. At early levels this will be kind of rough (a d8 PC is still pretty pasty against a CR 4 or 5 monster) so you will have to be careful. Maybe just do the same for your monsters. Give them bonus to their stats.
