    Cursed scrolls in BG1 have a cost of zero. As such, vendors won't buy them from you, much as they won't buy mundane clubs or staves. Unless you're planning to use them for something, throw them out.

    In BG1, you can only sell cursed scrolls for 1gp if they are unidentified. So if you don't mind metagaming, that's the solution. Not exactly worth the trouble though...

    Has anyone tried casting them on enemies.

    I've looked at it with the odd one and never found it successful. Even those scrolls where the effect is supposed to be able to be cast on someone else don't allow that - the curse just goes straight after the user.

    I made a tweak mod with a component that lets you use cursed scrolls on enemies. You can find the mod here.

    I usually have a particularly disliked NPC (like Eldoth. XD) use multiple of the cursed scrolls, then read a Cursed Scroll of Monster Summoning and let the summoned monsters kill him off.
