The best thing to do is to start small and go from there.

I'm having the same problem right now. My mechanic found that my fuel pressure was low so I'm gonna replace the fuel filter to see if that does anything. My compression came out ok and I already changed spark plugs so we'll see what happens.

^^ If you didn't know...the fuel "filter" is about like a cheese cloth sock on the fuel pick-up in the fuel tank. It's not likely that it is the problem.
[EDIT] I'll retract the above statement. We have found that low fuel pressure can be a misfire cause. See reason #1 for the clogged fuel pump or fuel filter.

My 2002 started having misfires across all cylinders about 2 years ago. I took it to a local mechanic and he tried everything stated in the OP as well as a valve adjustment. None of that fixed it. He gave up and I gave in and took it to a Honda dealership.
They immediately diagnosed it with a faulty throttle body sensor; at idle it was sending a incorrect voltage to the ECU. Once the TB was replaced, everything ran smoothly. Have not had a problem since.

But I'll add this to the list since it is easy to check.
