Personally, I think that this is a political problem, and a political solution would be the best way to resolve it.

There are various legal gimmicks, like the trillion dollar coins or premium bonds (discussed in the article), that have been proposed that might work temporarily. However, I'd expect them to be either struck down by the courts, or banned in a future must-pass government funding or omnibus bill. I don't think the uncertainty created by using one of these gimmicks is worth the benefit of delaying a political solution.

I'm not an expert in this topic, so I'm keeping my mind open to other ideas.
