I know there have been a ton of approaches, but here's a new one. It's a bit complicated to explain, so here's a quick proof of concept:
Rapid Strike Training [Fighter]
WORDS WORDS NO ONE READS THIS
Prerequisites: Stuff that means that you'll be at minimum level X.
Benefits: Upon taking this feat, lose one of your Maneuver Readied slots, and replace it with a Rapid Maneuver slot. This slot functions exactly like a Maneuver Readied slot, except that it can only be recovered through five minutes of practice; in addition, any standard action strike prepared in that slot may be initiated as a Swift action, and any full-round action strike in that slot may be initiated as a Standard action.
Special: This feat may be taken multiple times, each time replacing an additional Maneuver Readied slot with a Rapid Maneuver slot.
So yeah - you trade spammability for a more potent benefit that you are going to get once per encounter at best.
