<upd_detl>Most of the refs don't split the senses this finely but I think this is clearer.
Some sentences for each sense:
1.
彼を待つより仕方がない
彼は逃げるよりほか仕方がなかった
昨夜警察をよぶよりほかに仕方がなかった
2.
いたずらをするのは仕方が無い
自分でやったことだから仕方がないね
彼が彼女を気の毒に思うのは仕方がない
3.
そんなに健康のことを心配しても仕方がない
そこへ行っても仕方がない
4.
[Couldn't find any in the list on WWWJDIC but here are a couple from the JEs]
全くあの男は仕方がないうそつきだ He is simply a hopeless liar
また失敗したって, 仕方がない奴だ You failed again? You're hopeless, aren't you!
この子は乱暴で仕方がない　This child's wildness causes a lot of trouble.
5.
コーヒーが飲みたくて仕方がない
彼はアメリカへ行きたくてしかたがなかった
彼女はうれしくてうれしくて仕方がない</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>according to native friend, it is often used as just 'very'. this reference would confirm this. btw not sure if there is a difference between sikatanai and sikataganai? otherwise couldn't the two be merged as 'different forms' of the same thing? in GG5, it says sikatanai==sikataganai.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I wonder if it isn't just broad use of sense 2.
Combining 仕方がない and 仕方ない in the one entry would be quite messy as we need to align the kanji form and the reading.</upd_detl>
