An excellent question and delemma Kly. I usually confine my class's constitutional discussions to conflicts arising from the provisions of the 1st amendment. However, your's is one that I will definitely present to class.
Wouldn't the remedy be use immunity? If memory serves me right, I think the courts have generally sided with compelling such testimony, but with limitations. Is that correct?
Yes. Some federal courts rely on use immunity, which isn't always an option in state courts. This is one issue I've never encountered, but it puts a judge (instead of the prosecutor)in the uncomfortable position of granting immunity.
