I don't think you're reading this rule correctly. If the runner is attempting second or third, as soon as the
attempt on the runner is unsuccessful, ball is dead, batter is out, and runners return. The text in bold is directly out of the FED dead/delayed dead ball table. I guess the question then is when should PU kill the play. I think as soon as the attempt to put out the stealing runner fails.
For example, R1 stealing, throw into center field. R1 hops up and advances to third or home with possible plays at either base. If you're just going to send him back to first anyway, why all the unnecessary running and throwing?
