What about stop it by religious and social opposition? I mean, luddism takes over Europe with Churches' approval.
Sooner or later the wheels come off the Luddite system. If not in Europe, then elsewhere... indeed, the UK would still be a good place for the IR even if the Catholic church was full-bore Luddism. But if not there, then the Ottomans might do it. Or for that matter somewhere in the Far East... or North America, which is conveniently large and far away.
By the time you're getting past what look superficially like improvements in technique into definite new technologies, you're where
weapons tech in particular is clearly being improved by higher technology. Specifically, you're getting better iron and steel (for guns), better fabric production (sails, or money) and better mining (feeds into iron and steel).
Bottom line - whoever cracks industrialization first is going to become SUCH a rich country that it'll sweep aside the objections to the change. Other countries will have to adapt, or they'll be left behind... much as happened with the Brits, and any other country that hit industrialization ahead of the pack for that matter.
