Seems like you could put a steel foot on the base of the post to spread out the load.

I have shelving units in my garage that are very similar to what you have there. San Francisco does similar things for seismic survivability of structures. Where I went to school, the building was on rollers with big shock absorber springs in the basement. Cracked the plaster in 1989, but the building was fine.
