Some shuttles DID have warp drive, or could have it installed.  This is
mentioned in _Spock Must Die_ (SMD/n?) and a couple of the Star Trek Logs.

And what's effective transporter range?  A messier solution would be to send
out a shuttle with warp drive and most of its seats torn out and replaced
with a cargo transporter.  Then they approach to minimum range, beam who they
can out, and warp the hell out of there!

There's also another possibility in a Star Trek Log; the Enterprise could
try deploying a decoy Excelsior (or dreadnought or whatever).  This should
give the Klingons pause (if the simulation is good enough), and might give
the Enterprise the time to warp away. (I think this is from "The Practical
Joker".)

And of course, there's my last offering.  The "Wounded Sky" method.  Maneuver
like a madman, forcing the Klingons to hold fire so they don't hit each other
(although it's no loss if they do).  Get into transporter range for the KM
at least briefly and beam what can be beamed out.  Then run.
