The easy way is to sleep the shopkeeper *before* you begin looting the
shop.  She doesn't block the door or avoid your wands if you're not
carrying unpaid-for goods.  Wait until she steps onto an empty square
(and is not hiding an item), then blast away.

[Of course, this doesn't help if you didn't bring the wand into the
shop with you.]
