I had expected, perhaps naïvely, to "hide" it in the bezel, then "extend" it out of the screen's edge when needed.

Maybe there is another solution for your problem
I basically want the serial port to be externally accessible, yet without cutting anything into the Kindle.
The approach I had in mind was to use the bezel as a "sheath" that I would stow the cable away in when not in use, then extend it out when using it. Like an old TV or radio antenna, but with a cable instead of a long metal rod.
