I’ve seen sponsored pro MTBers basically throw the bike down and run back down the feature in those climb fail situations. Sometimes there’s no graceful way to deal with it. That said, next time doing a steep climb like that, try getting your weight more forward a little ? Doesn’t always help though and if too far forward your rear tire won’t have enough grip… also if your wait is forward it’s a little easier to avoid rolling backwards if you give up
