I like your idea. It is indeed weird that you would need to gather a clan of likeminded players to be able to play a game of Stealing Creation, instead of just going there and play.
I've experienced this sometimes as well, but often I just stay away from my own base as well, using familiars.
Something else that might work instead or in addition to the base damage would be to increase the no-combat zone to just outside the actual barrier. I haven't completely thought it true, so I'm not sure of the negative effects of it, but it would als solve the problem in the following situation.
You are being chased by a high combat level player, trying to salvage what you have by running to your base. Panicing as you are you frantically click the base's portal. When you finally arrive barely alive you sigh with relief, but hey, what happens now. Your frantic clicking on the portal made you enter the base and exit again. Before you realise it the enemy player has caught up and kills you.
Tunnel idea is nice as well. Although I too aggree it should be exit only.
