Simple.

Remove the flaw. Either remove the aerodynamic stability problem or make the FBW fix a proper one (like an Airbus, triple inputs, 14 computers, multiple layers of automatic or selectable degraded flight modes).

Train the pilots. If a single failure (here AoA) causes a monster, then prepare the pilots by training.

As someone who has moved back and forth, twice, between the 737 and A320, I can't begin to describe how lowly I view the Renton tractor. Boeing made a flawed aircraft and failed to mandate sufficient training. The pilots are as much victims as the passengers. No doubt at all.
