I say that if corporations have the benefits of personhood, they should also have the responsibilities and liabilities of a personhood. Kill 5 people due to clear negligence? Company comes under government control (prison) for the same amount of time as a regular person would for the same crime.

Kill hundreds? The company is dissolved and the responsible people are jailed.

Oh, and companies are represented by a random public defender from that jurisdiction.

That'd get some things fixed real quick.

That would certainly be more just, but to do that you'd need to reverse what is effectively their complete regulatory capture.

To do that you'd need to create a situation where money wasn't liquid power.

To do that you'd need to dismantle capitalism.

So at that point corporations aren't a thing anymore.

I say we do that. Like if we're dreaming, let's dream big.
