If I’m willing to loose a few inches of height, can I dig out a couple inches, add a pressure treated border to the footer and then get some gravel/concrete work? Footer is on grade, near as I can tell.

I have a friend who used reclaim (asphault) on his driveway, he rented a compacter and it packed down surprisingly hard and he basically has a paved parking area. If I'm envisioning your project correrctly i think this would be a good option for you. Reclaim is close to the price of gravel and a compacter is a weekend rental.
