That is a very special case I would like to avoid an exception for this
(ie. relaxing the ownwed-by-user check).

You can set the envvar GNUPGHOME to a different directory and this will
then be used for the socket and all other files - assuming that you did
not create a dedicated directory below /var/user/1000/gnupg for example
with "gpgconf --create-socketdir".
