To be honest the forecast winds, especially if downloaded right at TOD are usually very accurate these days. Nevertheless being high on approach still happens for a number of reasons.
Personally how I cope with the situation depends how we got into it in the first place. The other day the approach controller into Orly set us deliberately up by clearing us only to 5000' and expecting us to fly the ILS from 10NM being 2000ft high. In a case like that the answer to the ILS clearance is of course an "unable". In other cases, especially if its my own fault, it is easiest to switch it all off and fly the rest at the edge of the envelope and stabilized approach criteria manually which is indeed much easier without the distraction of the auto flight system and FD. And if it doesn't work out a go-around is simply a nice change of pace since they are so extremely rare in normal line flying.
