I assume Thomas knows pretty well what he's doing. He'd know much
better than me, in any case :-)

If I've understood you correctly, you only have to do with a limited
set of sites. If this set is limited enough, you could perhaps look
up the root CAs certifying those (using a browser in a more modern
place), export them, and import them in your patient's browser.

It is excruciatingly manual (that's how browsers like their users,
but I disgress), but for a few sites (or just as a proof of concept,
to make sure a sprinkling of root CAs might solve your problem at
all) it might be useful.
