Sounds like you need to kill the service(s) involved using whatever systemd's equivalent of rc-update is (or overwrite the service files with no-ops and then make them unwritable so they can't be changed), blacklist any kernel modules involved, and possibly write some udev rules to force the problem device to be properly identified. Rather a tedious process that would have to start with identifying the problem device and its USB ID. E.
