Uh no there isn't. Software is digitally signed with a private key, the whole point of a private key is that it's private.

This is ordering Apple to use their private key to create software that weakens the security of the private key.

It's like the court ordering someone to create a master key to all the houses in the world. I'm sure they'll promise not to use it again right? It'll never get stolen or borrowed right? You can't un-make it, and you can't change all the locks in the world.
