personally i would take the bulb out before trying something as ghetto as this. haha. You might want to research aftermarket sensors. I am sure there are smaller ones out there. You would have to recalbrate them to s2k. Not sure how difficult this would be, but hey its a direction for your research.

^ nah dude...I think that TPMS was made for those people who are too lazy to check their air pressures. Cars nowadays are making us less involved with them. Sure there's the argument of "what if you get a flat..." I believe car manufactures could go with indirect TPMS (ABS signal based) for that. I'd rather have the sensor pressurized sending a signal to the computer, rather than removing a bulb, which is actually a little more "ghetto." Cheers!
