Andreas,

If you are feeling adventurous, you could try implementing the Anderson-Rubin (weak-instrument-robust) approach to the K-regressor case.  I think it's discussed in Dufour (2003), "Identification, Weak Instruments and Statistical Inference in Econometrics" (full reference in the -ivreg2- help file references).

In the 1-endogenous-regressor case, the AR approach (which rivtest and condivreg extend) is to construct a confidence interval for the regressor beta_1.  In the 2-endogenous-regressor case, the AR approach is to construct a confidence *set* for the regressors (beta_1, beta_2).

You could implement this by a simple grid search - a bit of a hassle, but not that bad.

HTH,
Mark
