If you are using ASM you can remove 401 status code from Allowed Response Status Codes in the Policy Properties (advanced options).

 

By doing this if you are in blocking mode and your blocking settings block is selected for Illegal HTTP status in response, ASM will send a blocking page to the client which is an HTTP 200 OK.

 

Does this help?
