I would exclude Elrond handling the ring because he himself is a ringbearer. (...) I could envision Gandalf handling the ring the same way as he did with Bilbo.

I don't understand the point you are trying to make with this. You say not Elrond because he is a ringbearer, and then you say that it might have been Gandalf, but you just defeated your own point because Gandalf too is a ringbearer (Narya).
