In 5.1/7.1 audio mixes, the center channel is the magic channel with the dialogue.
It gives plenty of control. It's pretty great in practice.

I guess upping the center channel is an ok solution in practice because this doesn't happen very often, but DTS:X and Dolby TrueHD do actually support a separate dialog object that you can adjust the volume of independently, but AFAIK there are no actual movie titles that are mixed to make use of this feature.
