I suppose you could always null-route them.  Unfortunately, I suspect there's
enough ISPs in the world that meet your description that doing so for all of
them will push you significantly closer to the magical "240K routes melts your
router"..

The *big* question is, of course, whether there's enough of them for aggregation
to make a measurable difference... :)
