Does the solution need to be proper math, and does the result have to be
perfect?

For a kludge, IMHO it shouldn't be too hard to write a macro that will return
the two points using a brute force approach. i.e. (approx. code, won't parse)

#declare Len = 10000000000000
#declare R1 = 0
#while (R1 < 360)
    #declare R2 = 0
    #while(R2 < 360)
       #if(distance between R1 on 1st circle and R2 on 2nd circle < Len)
            Len = that distance
        #end
        #declare R2 = R2 +1
    #end
    #declare R1 = R1 + 1
#end
