Overcoming limits of Auto_Increment

Is there a way to "overcome" the issue with Auto_Increment in that once the limit is reached, that it either loops back around to 0 or just stops adding rows.

For example, if I have an Auto Increment attribute of unsigned tinyint, and I have 255 items. Let's say that I delete item 128. How can I then re-use # 128 again? Can this number be reused again after it is removed (even though it is an auto_increment attribute)?
