One possibility would be to teach the kernel how to use an anonymous
logon (equivalent to what we do with sec=none) for the initial mount.
That would take a bit of reengineering but it's possible.
Also, if you pass credentials to the mount command then those
credentials will just be used for root access. e.g. something like this:
sec=ntlmssp,username=foo,password=bar,multiuser
You probably don't want to put that in a mount command, but you could
use a credentials file (see mount.cifs(8)).
