Hi Stephen,
I am afraid what you would like to achieve is not supported by Kendo UI Slider and there is no a suitable workaround I can suggest. We will appreciate it if you submit this idea as a feature request at our UserVoice portal - this was the community would be able to evaluate it and if the suggestion gains popularity we will consider its implementation.
Regards,
