My workplace doesn't even allow us to plug in (unapproved?) USB devices, so even this workaround likely wouldn't fly here.

Same here.

I once plugged my personal phone into the USB port of a random machine in the office to get a quick charge, and a guy from Information Security showed up in under ten minutes ready to have a heart attack.

Easy to spoof a whitelisted device. Of course this might risk your future employment…
