In the sim with uncontrollable, full runaway up trim, we used to teach rolling into at least a 30 degree bank and slowing with flaps to relieve back pressure until the trim could be reset. You can maintain that flight condition until fuel exhaustion and the forward pressure will be comparatively minimal during the wings-level portion of the approach. It's called involuntary trimming during a steep turn.
