I've run in to this exact same issue on a show shooting with the Sony FS700. Every card starts with the clip "00000.MTS", and all clips have a start TC of 00:00:00:00. The best solution is to media manage all the footage before you start editing so that every clip can be uniquely identified. Our solution was to create uniquely named proxies based on the shoot day for all the clips that could be replicated for the online.
The second part of solution that I used was to create "online" master clips out of Premiere before sending to Resolve since it is already linked to the original MTS files and knows which ones go where. This can be done through the Project Manager using "Consolidate and Transcode". Transcode to ProRes4444, ProRes422HQ, DNxHD/HR 444, or some other online quality codec. When clips with the same file name are transcoded premiere will give them a unique name (if I'm remembering correctly) and create a new project with the sequence linked to those clips. It's not the prettiest method, but it's easier than manually conforming each clip.
You also get the added benefit of not needing to work with Long-GOP files in Resolve which helps with performance.
