You could use hyperreal numbers.

At which point why not just re-normalize everything so that you're only dealing with reals?

You could have something have infinite value and something else have finite value. Since this has an infinitesimal chance of actually mattering, it's a silly thing to do. I was just pointing out that you could assign something infinite utility and have it make sense.
