I usually let them go to 1-1 with no troops, until they are damaged up to orange level. Then I put on troops, and then continue (this way the troops accumulate the damage instead and you don't have to repair the swords). They still awaken this way, I've done it with both Higekiri and Hizamaru so far for both initial and toku levels.
