I find your last paragraph the most likely and in my personal opinion maybe the only to way to "hack" Penny.

Since random killing and destruction of property is bad for any bodies reputation she probably has basic programs against such.

If ordered to go against such programing she could either go into a classic sci fi logic meltdown or possibly march back home for maintenance.

All of this ignores the possibility Penny just might be a fully aware person due to her having a "soul" as described by Ruby. With such an order forcing her to come to the realization she is "real".
