I think trying to identify a separate "Hard Goodhart's Law" or whatever is a bit silly. Very little you've said here is really specific to Goodhart's Law. If you don't have the power to solve the problem, then, well, you can't solve the problem. You're left with the standard options for working with any bad system: go with the flow, leave, try to gain more power, etc. Which is not too say that asking for advice is a bad idea, quite the opposite. Just that said advice doesn't need a special name.
