The gods actually can do something like that, wherein if a hero incurs a god's wrath then the god can turn any divine mana still inside them against the hero, debilitating him so that it is functionally as if he has lost all the unshackled power. Thing is there are fixes for this, aside from help from monsters (becoming a monster or incubus allows you to absorb the divine mana and transform it into your own mana so it no longer debilitates you), there is also the possibility of finding a way to expel the divine mana that has debiliated you.

As for why the unshackled abilities can't be truly sealed back up, we don't know, except that its stated the "evolution to hero is a permanent and irreversible thing." Perhaps its an innate aspect/mechanic of unshackling that just can't be avoided.
