Theres the adoption feature wich basically stops there royalty from dying. The only way to destroy there faction by asassination is to take out both there faction leader and heir in the same turn. This in turn can happen to the human player.

Or you can just take out their remaining cities. It is a lot more fun IMO and you can attack their rebel armies later.

I've tried bribing a stack of former Senate heirs after the faction disintegrated. There was no bribery option, so I'm not sure if you can bribe those as well.
