A technical solution to this might be a form of encryption the requires a writable disk to actually decrypt anything. I don't know if that is possible, but it would effectively prevent these safeguards to work. And remember, you don't need to wipe the entire drive. Changing a few random bits in the decryption key would already forever turn the drive contents into unreadable garbage.
