Never having flown a barbie jet, just old Boeings and Airbuses, isn't there a stab brake built into the system that only requires opposite force than the trim to stop the trim (or elevator) from moving?
Even if the trim does runaway to the full stop position, you should still be able to control pitch via power. Not an ideal way but it does work and I had to demo it in the A-300 sim training.
