Attach a lien to the property. If it’s a small business, the government’s share of the step up is put against the business. There will still be shenanigans. But it avoids forcing liquidation wile preserving the state’s interest.

This actually seems like a very reasonable solution. Although it would lead to perpetual liens on properties that simply get passed down dozens of generations, never getting sold. At some point, the music has to stop, or the rich will exploit it.
