I only know one way of overcoming it, and that is putting telescopes outside the atmosphere, as in in orbit of the Earth, a la Hubble.
Putting telescopes at high elevations can mitigate this problem somewhat but it doesn't overcome it completely.

1) Putting telescopes in space.
2) Adaptive optics. This involves either changing the shape of the mirror constantly to minimize atmospheric distortion, or reshaping the wavefront using a computer system after the light has been collected.

the only way I can think of would be to place a telescope above the atmosphere

Orbiting them around the earth.
Coupling more than one telescope on earth and looking at the star from more than one angle.
