You cannot. If  your only goal is to  prevent readability you can
set the file permissions to grant no readable access:

chmod -r-w+x script.sh

Unfortunately, shebang scripts require to be readable by the user
executing them :)

that,  making your  code executable  doesn't prevent  people from
simply  running  strings on  the  executable  and getting  secret
strings, if any.

SHC prevents that, too. But I agree that the design decision that
mandates such unreadable shell scripts are suspect and ought to be
re-thought.
