I think the solution to the problem would be to make a concerted effort to pass an amendment to the constitution
that would make it legal for any state that chooses to secede be able to do so without recrimination. If that amendment could be passed our nation would very soon return
to the Nation our founders gave us. Some states might secede
then the FED GOV would feel the tax loss and suck up to them and return their states rights to them if they would rejoin the USA.

Secession is not necessary, as the 'free state' project realizes.
Any state still retains the constitutional power to defy the feds on most, if not all of their socialistic 'power grabs'.
The political will to do so is lacking, not the powers of a free state to just say no.
