That's a great idea, and I think they already have a platform to do that with, the Apple Store and their Genius Bar. Most major cities have two Apple stores these days, and for people that aren't near one, an option to fax or mail could exist. In addition, a callback or text just plan seems necessary, even if the number is inactive.
The less information the other person (hacker/user) has to offer, the more time it should take to reset. In the meantime Apple should be notifying all the contact information on file about what's going on and offer a way to stop it.

Almost ten years ago, I asked an old friend (that got rich doing security for online gambling companies) about verifying identity with VISA cards. He told me that the Russian mob would open a new account in e.g. the English countryside. When the security people called the (non-mobile) phone number, then someone answered and verified that it was their VISA card and yes, they wanted to open an account. Edit: If my point isn't clear -- it is that the present capabilities of the criminal networks are probably much superior these days. (Addition: I assume he knew where the criminals came from because of police reports.)
