either use an airline and hope it spins faster than the rod inside, alternatively borrow or make the tool to hold it inside

You might not believe this but I compress mine underneath a picnic table in the back yard while standing on top  The bolt lines up with a crack in the table top and the damper rod usualy keeps still once the fork is compressed

Haha, i would also pay to see that trick! 
Btw as Drew say, if the damper are compressed, it usually stays in place. Just put the spring/end cap back and it might come loose. Dunno how your forks looks like though, but this would work on telescope ones.
