Oh well... If I loosen the screw on my shifters, the screw and the bracket come out at either side (front/back) so I can directly remove it from the bar without any sliding whatsoever. It's a faff to get them back on but I've managed to do it on multiple occasions... That might be the case with yours too. My experience is with st-r505's and st-r8020's.

The R785 shown has the same bracket design. Just keep unscrewing till it comes off the bracket.

I could unscrew the shifters from the bracket, but the brake hose goes through an internal channel through the tops of the bars so they're pretty much stuck in position even without the bracket. I do like to make things difficult for myself...

Sadly that won't work - the bars are 3T Ergonovas, so they have flattened tops and the shifters won't slide over them:
And there's not enough spare hose at the caliper end to get the shifter off the end of the bar.
