I don't think there's a non-hackish way to do it, but you
can probably accomplish this by replacing emblem-readonly
with a fully transparent PNG in the icon theme.

Look for emblem-readonly in /usr/share/icons/<themename>
where <themename> is the name of the icon theme you use
(possibly "gnome", which I'll use for example).

find /usr/share/icons/gnome/ -name 'emblem-readonly.*'

Create each of these under ~/.local/share/icons/gnome,
keeping the directory structure in tact.  But replace
all of them with fully transparent images.

Kind of hackish, but it should do the trick.
