Disable Exchange ActiveSync remote wipe

I'm looking for a way to disable altogether or severely limit the data that can be erased by the exchange server. I know there is an app called Lockpick to get past being forced to enter a pin all the time, there must be a way to mod the email to ignore or feign compliance with the exchange security policies.

Long story short, it's my phone, my call logs, my text messages, my apps, my ringtones and they don't have anything to do with my mundane work email (it's not like we're the DoD defending against China). IT is overreaching and my choices are either carry a work phone and a personal phone, win the battle to force our 3rd party IT to turn on IMAP, or defeat ActiveSync.
 
My problem is the opposite: I need to be able to wipe the data.

I have two phones: LG Optimus V (Virgin Mobile) and LG Optimus M (MetroPCS).

When syncing the Optimus M I get the pop up about the Remote Device Administration for security and I am being able to wipe it remotely (SD included); however, on the Optimus V, I get to sync but NONE of the security rules are beign synced. The email all gets downloaded, can send new ones, but cannot remotely wipe.

I seems there are carrier restrictions on what you can and cannot do with ActiveSync.
