Just bleed off the energy through the deflector dish, and create a subspace anomaly. Elementary, my dear alarikf.

But if you do that you still haven't solved the problem of the vaporized dilithum crystal. Now, I'll grant you that bleeding off the energy through the deflector dish is one possiblity (even though, good god man, it's never been done outside of a controlled environment!) but I would think the only way to get the crystal replaced if you do this (in order to avoid the Klingons) is to tune the deflector dish so that the energies are in phase-line-mode with the Klingon hull stress nodes. If this happens -- and it alone is impossible without a superhuman brain at the controls -- then you might, just might, possibly be able to vaporize the klingon ship while leaving its dilithium crystal intact. But, this has only been theorized in my paper back at the academy, and there is no way to test it especially since, if the energy bleed off starts a subspace reaction it might destroy us and everything in the entire star system. But, dammit Scotty, it might be the only chance we've got.
