For mandatory T&Cs I'll put in the signature box "Decline", including updating the HTML page to say "decline" instead of "OK" and screenshotting it or modifying the HTTP response sent back to include riders.

I know it probably won't matter, but it's kind of fun for me.

No chance that would hold up in court. Clickwraps have been tested in courts and are fully enforceable.

Have they been tested in court where the defendant has a screenshot of clicking through declined terms of service?

I'm not sure they're allowed to use the service if they decline the terms.
