Yeah after the civil war the US really locked down that the states are servile to the feds and dont get a say in it. The only thing they could potentially do would be to have some sort of popular grassroot effort and the state just refuses to stop it. Like if californians stopped filing federal taxes en masse and the californians refused to enforce the federal tax law for example. The feds lack mass manpower for things like that so short of invading the state with the US military to collect taxes they couldn't enforce it without local police.
The best thing they can do now is sue, and start weaponizing regulations. For example doing constant long drawn out inspections at all their ports of entry to slow down trade. This would hurt the national economy and could give them some leverage in negotiations with the feds.
