CBC would solve this problem, as would have Xdrive. Unfortunately your 02' has neither, so it has to manage with its regular fixed 4 wheel drive system (which uses DSC - which also means it can only react, not prevent this sort of behavior)...
Consider this though, any car's contact patch is usually never bigger then your hand (fingers closed). A car has to manage thousands of pounds on 4 little contact spots the size of your hands... Add rain to the mix, and there ya go. Aznmpower32 is right, there is no replacement for simple physics - especially not with the all seasons your X is probably wearing...
