Can you strip some to all of that corner while it is on the trailer just leaving a brake caliper with a block of wood strapped into it hanging from the empty strut top hole? Or at least get the wheel off?

If so, then unhook the winch (Which pulls down as well as forward) and use
man weight and the e-brake to back it off.

I think with you and 2-4 people and a couple floor jacks, we can put it wherever you want.

I assume it still runs, so as long as the front left shaft (or lack there of if you pull it) can turn freely, you can start it and "drive" it. very slowly...

Cars in much worse shape have been moved with floor jacks. You may have to keep moving them and switching pick up points, but big deal.
