What lens is so wide you couldn't hold a P filter against the front and
get adequate coverage?

Because when you use a grad you want to be able to move it up and down
to match the horizon. Side to side doesn't work, unless you have a very
soft graduation, and your horizons are always in the middle. Or maybe
you've got something else in mind....
Anyway, a screw-in grad sounds like it would do the same thing as a
sideways oriented grad. B+H carries them.
There's also a couple of systems like the Cokin, but bigger (Cokin X-Pro
or Lee) that might work. The P is 84mm wide, the X-Pro is 130mm.
