ODB, if you can't borrow, you can sell in-the-money calls, equivalent to shorting the common.

Added SS WBSN at 16.65, too much in 1 day.

ODB, my broker here in Canada does not have shares to short either. In cases like this I buy puts a couple of months out with a strike 40 to 50% above share price. The delta is very close to 1 and there is almost no decay of time premium. The only bad thing is the spread.
