Is there a professional/respectful way to decline a take home case study that doesn't automatically disqualify you from the candidate pool?

Thank you for your time and this opportunity. I believe I've given all the inputs that I could and won't be able to allocate more of my personal time for new interviews/case studies/etc at this stage. If one of your team leaders would like to get on a 30-minute call, I'll be happy to walk them through my critical thinking process. Being an experienced (position) in the (industry type) Industry, I have to be very strict on how I spend my time to maximize the ROI I create. I believe this exercise is not a good ROI for my time for your company and me.

I don't see why other candidates have to do it but you don't... unless you're that much of a baller and you can prove yourself in other ways. Best to suggest an alternative approach
