I do agree with Eleanor. When I was solving structure at 2.16A resolution, outlier residues were having stearic clash or required side chain flipping.
At 2.76A resolution, hydrogen bonds would be difficult to visulize. I found phenix.refine more user friendly. You may too find it useful.

At that resolution it is inevitable you will have some level of mis-interpretation .. 4% outliers does not surprise me. EDSTATS is a useful tool to find things such as pep flips - you can access it most simply from CCP4 GUI2 . But unless the outliers are in a important part of the structure I would suggest checking, then living with them.
