If you just cant get the FDC moved, maybe add a pressure regulating valve or relief valve to prevent system overpressure? Not the most-best way to go, but better than blowing the system apart?

Generally that's what we'd do in that scenario as there isn't much else you can safely do because of the compound pressure increase potential with a fire pump. Presumably you have to put a test header somewhere, just add an FDC as well? Of course then hydrant distance comes in to play as well.
