This is the answer but is very difficult to implement because it must be instinctive. You are either going to crash because you have exceeded the tire capacity for traction and it cannot recover or you will crash because you over corrected and when traction was regained the bike was pointed to far in the wrong direction. If you just allow it to go where it is trying to go, and there is room before going off road or into an obstacle, when the traction returns you will be able to steer it to safety.
