Actually Aro, this is addressed a bit in the gremlin's profile. That is it mentions devices to drain monster mana from people and manipulate such energies exist. One would presume that such technology is rare and most can't effectively use it though, just as most humans are not magically capable.

The difficulty for women at least to handle monster mana is due to how their bodies work. Men excel at producing mana, whereas women excel at absorbing mana. This enables women to rapidly recover energy from the environment and energy released from men (compared to men who have to rest and eat to recover a lot of mana), but it also means monster mana is easily absorbed into women and there is not much they can do to stop it because monster mana outright eats the comparatively little mana their bodies produce (so using it as a barrier would only work for as long as it takes for the monster mana to consume their own, and since monsters produce a lot more mana than women their energy wins out).

The human race in the MGE world can be considered "nerfed" in a sense though since they were literally made by the gods so that most humans would be inferior to most monsters. I presume one reason KC did this was to make the formation of the "new human race" more attractive. Humans get uplifted to equal status with monsters on the hierarchy of creation, gaining their long lifespans, resistance to disease and tough bodies, and monsters are improved by the adaptability and cultural complexitity that humans excel in.
