Default Brake Bleeder Relocators...

I can't believe that someone hasn't come out with a brake-bleeder-relocator kit...you know, something like a hard line that can be mounted above the caliper (like a hard-line with a remote bleeder nipple) to allow bleeding the brakes without jacking/wheel removal.
Is there nobody that's done this?

I may need to unleash my inner-fool and f'up my brakes...hopefully, there'll be something worth using afterwards...

something hanging out subject to damage would leave you in a bad postion.

I hear you, but I'm not talking about 'hanging out'. Something along the lines of a hard-line routed close to the caliper with a bleed screw/nipple at the end. Just something "enough" to reach.

I had a CTS-V prior to the Z, and bleeding those were a 5 minute job. My friend's Porsche is the same way. There must be a way...

My Porsche can be bled with the wheels and tires on with no jacking required - but it was designed to do that...

If you have the Wilwood SL6 kit, you can get a line for that shown below. It is intended to be used for a brake fluid recirculating system (which I love!) and with that you never have to bleed since every time you hit the brakes you are bleeding. However, with this, you could run a flex line out of this to a remote bleeder like on a clutch slave cylinder.
