Think ahead
Osse, now that I think about it, if you look at Galadriel's situation she resisted the ring. Elrond had his own powers and could resist like Galadriel did. However, he wouldn't dare to touch it, even Galadriel couldn't touch it. Your argument about "not-touching" the ring, to change the chain, could only point to one person then, Elrond.
Elrond or Gandalf would certainly, in my opinion, not allow anyone to touch it. However, Elrond and Gandalf had the strength to resist the ring, if they would have touched it, then it would have gotten interesting. Because, not even Galadriel would have been able to touch it.
