Do you want the bleed to actually extend *beyond* the object
boundaries? If not, why don't you use two highlights? For example, I
often use something like this:

finish {
	specular 0.5 roughness 0.0025
	phong 0.25 phong_size 7.5
}

Or you could layer or average textures, one with fully metallic, soft
highlight and the other one with a tight, more plasticy-looking
highlight.
