In this case, the court will likely reform the terms of the covenant not to compete to make it less restrictive and prevent any undue burden on the employee's ability to find work.

Enforcing the covenant as written or refusing to enforce it altogether would not be the most reasonable or fair solution. Evaluating the effects over time or imposing a fine on the employer would also not be the most suitable options in this situation.
