Ok, after doing a little testing, there is a way to scrap facilities and get the resources. You have to give the planet the "abandon" order and click yes when it asks if you want to scrap all faciliites before abandoning. Obviuosly this isnt' an ideal solution as you lose the planet when you might just have a temporary resourse shortage. And you can't selectivly scrap only certain facilities, it's all or nothing. Also, the planet has to be below 50M population for the abandon order to work. But if you are desperate and have some spare planets it will work.

Also, scrapping ships works fine in simultaneous turn game.
