Fun entertaining future ideas:

Mount over /root/.ssh. Mount over /home/special-user/.ssh.

"But the permissions!" you cry out.

So first you mount it like normal:

calibre-mount-helper mount overlay /path/to

Then the second time you remount with the uid settings you want:

touch -- '-ouid=1234,gid=1234,umask=345,remount'
calibre-mount-helper mount -ouid=1234,gid=1234,umask=345,remount /path/to

This is thanks to #4.
