Is there anything that can be done about someone refusing to be objective in the rating process?

It’s all about the counselings. If there is no counselings than it’s hard to bebute.

Let me say up front I'm not an expert on the Army NCO rating scheme; however, I lived through the Army Civilian Evaluation process and three different AF officer rating processes. Personnel rating systems are always subjective as long as people are involved. Raters should always be as objective as possible, but some just aren't. Opinions based on facts as the rater perceives them will always influence the ratings. If you can't prove some sort of discrimination or bias based on your membership in a protected class (check with your EO office to understand protected classes), you may be stuck. Even if you are in a protected class, you'll have to prove your rater based his or her rating on your membership in that class. Since the rating appears not to be a "referral" requiring a senior leader to sign off on some type of unsatisfactory rating, you may have no grounds for appeal. Read all the Army directives on the NCOER process to see if you have an appeal available--looks like SGM Bill Frazer knows about a rebuttal process. Can the people you supported at the 1st SFAB provide a supplemental rating form to your rater? If you did well in assisting them, that might help blunt the effect of the qualified rating.

1st off you have to have the NCOER to rebut it. There is a procedure for doing so.2. If the 1SG is in the rating scheme, then you can go to the CSM to lit a fire under the 1SG to get the thing done. 3. Don't get hostile- if you can show that the NCOER is not on the up and up, it can be killed.
