It's never been done because it will invalidate literally every single transaction ever made. Every transaction spends coins that were either generated by the pre-mine, or generated in blocks built on top of the pre-mine. The only other way is to add code that invalidates transactions made after a certain blockheight that spend coins from the pre-mine coinbases, but a) there's nothing stopping the founder from moving his coins before that blockheight, if he hasn't already done so, in which case there's nothing you can do to stop him from spending his coins, and b) your users will be quick to realise that if you're going to add rules preventing people from spending certain coins, none of their coins are safe either.
You just have to accept the fact that the founder has a shit-tonne of coins that he didn't earn, there's nothing you can do about it, and it's all your fault for agreeing to use a pre-mined coin in the first place.
