Why not have an emergency override switch that allows pilots to command the stabiliser RAPIDLY to a precise target position? Or one of a few conveniently spaced positions within its total excursion?

That way if MCAS does something unwanted, or other issues arrive that make fast manual retriming desirable the pilots just select the desired target position and get back to sanity ...
