At present there is no way of blacklisting in the style files. At least I
haven't found one.

You can omit tags, but you cannot do something like this:

highway=track {blacklist}
highway=* [0x00]

The wildcard is very handy for catching unexpected tag values. If you want
to use it and discard certain other tag values you need some way of
blacklisting.
