You could either buy a higher call and create a credit spread to hedge the short call option OR Buy some of the stock and use it like a covered call strategy.
To hedge a short put position, you can buy a put option with the same underlying asset and a similar expiration date but at a lower strike price. This strategy, known as a bull put spread, limits potential losses if the underlying asset declines significantly. Alternatively, you could also consider buying shares of the underlying asset to offset potential losses from the short put if the stock price falls.
The holder/purchaser/owner of a call option contract has the right to buy an asset (or call the asset away) from a writer/seller of a call option contract at the pre-determined contract or strike price. The holder/purchaser/owner of a call option contract expects the price of the underlying asset to rise during the term or duration of the call contract, for as the value of the underlying asset increases so does the value of the call option contract. Conversely, the write/seller of a call option contract expects the price of the underlying asset to remain stable or to decline. The holder/purchaser/owner of a put option contract has the right to sell an asset (or put the asset) to a writer/seller of a put option contract at the pre-determined contract or strike price. The holder/purchaser/owner of a put option contract expects the price of the underlying asset to decline during the term or duration of the put contract, for as the value of the underlying asset declines the contract value increases. Conversely, the writer/seller of a put option contract expects the price of the underlying asset to remain stable or to rise.

A hedge knight is a wandering knight without a master. Hedge knights are so named because they generally must sleep outdoors, under a hedge. Most hedge knights travel in search of employment and often attend jousts to make money and display their prowess in hopes of being hired. Less scrupulous hedge knights put their martial training to use by resorting to banditry. For this reason, hedge knights are often mistrusted and considered disreputable. The term "hedge knight" itself is considered disparaging
What happens is the put writer gets hosed. If a company goes into Chapter 7 bankruptcy, all its stock becomes worthless. Unfortunately for the people who wrote put options on the company's stock, those do NOT become worthless. If the put buyer decides to exercise the option - and he will - the writer has to buy all those shares of worthless stock at the strike price.

A put-call combo is an options trading strategy that involves simultaneously buying a put option and a call option on the same underlying asset with the same expiration date but different strike prices. This strategy is often used to exploit price discrepancies or hedge positions, allowing traders to benefit from volatility regardless of the asset's movement. The combination provides a way to leverage both bullish and bearish market sentiments within a defined risk framework.
