Probably not, but a Syker in my game has 26 Strain and he's gotten down
in the mid to low single digits a couple times. 

He's also had his Mind-Rider punk him about 9 times. The Joker will show
up at some point, just set the cards aside every time he uses his powers
until a Joker shows up, then re-shuffle whatever deck you're using for
the draw after it does. I use a seperate deck [official Hoyle's brand,
of course] just for draws for his Mind Rider. Occasionally I like to
have it just kind of 'pop-up' and cause a power fault [listed right
before the Brainburn table in 'Brainburners'] to keep him in line. 

But, that's just how I do it, YMMV.
