I fold. I'd rather open-push with garbage than call an open-pusher, even in LP, and even with this hand.

If everyone thinks this way, FE should be re-evaluated. If first-in-Vig is being overused/abused, then it can be countered. If you knew what cards your opponents had (pushing with garbage), would you still fold K9?

Play some SNGs. Go the the STT forum. It is standard practice to wait for a spot to push with a slightly worse hand than call with a slightly better hand.

Now that I think about it, this would almost be a better question for that forum.
