I keep thinking some sort of emergency reaction control to push the nose down might work. Some small solid rockets just for emergency use.
I suspect rockets would cause all sorts of regulatory problems (they've been suggested for ejecting flight recorders, but faced similar issues). I seem to recall that at least one of the T-tail airliners had a booster in the rear during test flights just in case.
