I can't think of any obvious plugin point that would allow it even as a
customization.

Attribute manipulation is only provided as a by-product of SSO today and
occurs at login time, and all caching refers to the session as a whole,
not specific parts of the session. That's also why the SP doesn't support
"step-up" authentication.
