Strike it out and keep going. If it can't be striked out (such as online) just don't sign it. Probably start sending out your resume just in case they force the point, but I would not sign such an clause at all.

I managed to get a clause like this stricken once and I still regret taking the job. It turns out unreasonable contracts means unreasonable people and you want to stay away from unreasonable people.

Better to just tell them to take a hike and (ideally) name and shame the company publicly.

This was in a documentation package presented to me as part of a job offer, so it was easy to walk away from.
