Or.....

To better emulate figuring out wormholes, you have only damaging wormholes until such time as you have researched wormhole technology. Then you can rebuild those wormholes into safe ones. This would allow you to warp out of your current system SOMETIMES, but, you could always lose a ship (ie, it becomes immobile on the other side of the wormhole) or have it so damaged that it had to try to go home right away.
