Adding a random query string to the end of the style sheet href 
will do what you want:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css?aaa" 
media="screen" />

I'd be inclined to revisit the convolution to see if there were 
another way to skin that cat without requiring the browser to 
reload the style sheets on every page load though.
