When Playboy gave out their Jazz (and later, Rock/Pop) Awards, they had a policy that anyone who won a category a set number (three or five, I think) of times was placed in a Hall of Fame in that category and ineligible thereafter. I always thought that was reasonable, and would love to see other awards adopt it (including the Pegasi). It both acknowledges the person who's won all those times, and allows others to compete. (If the FHoF folks objected to the terminology, I'd suggest calling it Emeritus status, instead.)
The only disadvantage is that you don't get impressive achievements like Charles Brown's 21 Hugos for Locus. I think the net benefits are worth it, though.
