You should be able to access the top nut, when I had KSports the adjusted was threaded up through the top nut and you could reach it.
The rear strut actually pokes up through the body about an inch or two, so I think that might make it more difficult to do the approach you are talking about, since the spring would have the clear that extra height.
I wonder if you could "thread" the spring off without having to lift it clean over the top of the strut? If you could get just the top of the spring over, then maybe you could turn it and "unwind" it off the strut?
That would be a novel approach!
If you disconnect the sway bar link, and loosen the inner LCA eccentric (just a little to let the bushing pivot down, you shouldn't lose the alignment setting, at least I didn't the one time I tried this) and maybe loosen the toe eccentric, to free that bushing, this would give the maximum amount of droop for the rear suspension and give you the most room. If you are doing new springs you are looking at an alignment anyway so there wouldn't be a concern with loosing the alignment.
