The crowbar does suck as a weapon. Any two assistants can out beat you with an extinguisher. Shells are best used in none direct confrontations - push folks into space or into electrified airlocks (the gloveless ones), become a pod flying menace. Bump welding tanks into light sources.
It's true that it's fairly easy to take away some of the capabilities of a rogue AI, but that's where cooperating with your fellow borgs and the folks that uploaded laws come into play.
Borgs can fix cameras and restore APCs as long as it isn't damaged or had its battery chucked out. your human conspirator (if any) could do anything with the right tools and equipment. You complement them by being able to track and check things for them, and by having a measure of control in the environment they travel in. They complement you by keeping your capabilities functional (sight, telesci, etc) and securing your core when it gets raided by tooled up individuals.
No borgs? Either convince the human to borg some people or cripple genetics and wait until you have a coterie of borgs before going all out.
Malfunction isn't an actual game mode because of the relative ease in which you can upload a law or reset the AI.
Making the AI any more capable than it is right now would just completely devastate an unprepared crew. Antags shouldn't just be able to turn a blind eye on core security after subverting the AI.
