You could derive the component and apply the correct scale to the new item.

I am trying to place a component into an assembly, but the person who
created this component did it as a metric (mm) part, using US (inch)
dimensions. So every time I insert these components, there are 25.4 times
too large. I have tried many things, such as changing the units of the
part, but Inventor just converts the numbers to the units I do not want. I
am wondering if there is some way to change my units without changing the
actual numbers, or if not, is there a way I can scale my 3d components
either 25.4 times larger or smaller? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
