There's not - you can disable native/binary to make it less likely, but you can't stop reads entirely because you need gossip up in order to have hints deliver
What you can do is use severity to make the dynamic snitch MUCH less likely to pick that node (and disable binary so it's not a coordinator). That often works for what you're trying to do, though it's imperfect.
