3. Send those accursed commanders into battle against an enemy province (not one with a fortress) where enemy heroes, gods, or prophets are camping, skewing the odds against yourself.

4. You will lose the battle horribly... but enemy commanders will "find" those cursed items, get cursed, and lose an item slot. Hopefully a KEY enemy commander or hero... even pretender!
That theory is cute in practice, but AFAIK slave collars are one of the items that will never be picked up after battle, including other things like magical eyes and so on, probably because of their abuse potential.
