The alternative, but a more reliable method, is to unlock Titles in the Skill Panel. These provide more Penetration bonuses than your regular accessories, however unlocking them would require more grinding and effort on your part as the player. Unlocking the Completion Bonus for each Title will require a lot of SP, so try and finish as many Sub-Quests as you can to unlock more Titles.
