There are likely things you can do, although it may not make a massive difference in the long run. You could wait until the ex-rights date and then tail swallow, meaning you will take up a proportion of your entitlement at nil cost. You could also potentially sell some of your shares once they have gone nil paid and use the proceeds to exercise your rights, keeping them in the ISA. You then have money (that presumably you are looking to use to subscribe for the rights but no longer news to) that you could use to buy shares outside the ISA at market price in a General Investment Account or equivalent. It's likely swings and roundabouts in that if the share rockets then sure, some tax to pay, but still a good return. If it doesn't then you have some losses outside the ISA that you can offset against potential gains elsewhere.
