You could try babel but the doc says “When retracting a route, Babel
generates an unreachable route for a little while (according to RFC).
The interaction of this behavior with other protocols is not well tested
and strange things may happen.”

However, OSPF isn’t very complex, but every interface in area 0 (on a
soft router you will have more than enough CPU for this) and you’re
done. This way, you will not have to deal with stubby and not-so-stubby
areas.
