I am sure that the equations as you have written them down have no  
solutions. Certainly, the rationalised equations have no exact solution:

With your definition of eq we have:

In[2]:=
vars=Variables[eq];

In[3]:=
Length[vars]

Out[3]=
39

That by the way shows that there are only 39 and not 57 distinct  
variables. We can rationalize the equations:

=
eq=Rationalize[eq,0];


GroebnerBasis[eq, vars,MonomialOrder->DegreeReverseLexicographic]

{1}

This shows that without any doubt the rationalised equations have no  
solutions. On the other hand, since you are using MachinePrecision  
numbers I would not be surprised if you could fine a "solution" that  
looked like one purely due to loss of precision in the verification  
process.
