If the "ramp down" on the resource dividend does not start until around 40% from an enemy empire foothold, back hacking with full dividend should still be possible. If the empire capture bonus reaches max at 20% from the enemy foothold, the boost for a back hack may well be worth it even if it does get recaptured quickly.

If you want to really be mean:
Cut off all resource gain on that continent for the the empire who got back hacked until it's fixed, but only if they own more than (some %) of the control points. This would force a large amount of the zerg off the front line or they go broke and get forced off the front line.
