Is there any way to ban the ELCA from using the term Lutheran?

I wish. Martin Luther may not have been perfect. Some say he intensely disliked Jews. Others that he ripped the book of James from his Bible.

But nobody can deny that he was giant in contributions to Christian thought and theology. The ELCA seriously damages the brand.

Luther intensely disliked Jews who didn’t convert to his preaching :) He was very German in that respect that he was nice, but if he became bad, he became very bad — he disliked Catholics, Zwinglist, Calvinists, peasants etc. — but he was no anti-semite. A Jew who converted to Luther’s way of thinking was a-ok :)
