TCP would help.  TLS-over-TCP would help even more.

In the absence of that, you could rotate the line-id every few hours (and
re-register), only accept Invites from the same IP address as your SIP proxy
(akin to what a symmetric NAT imposes on its outbound connections), and make
sure the network follows RFC2827 practices (Network Ingress Filtering).
