Would it be an idea to limit the 3D support to one screen at a time?
Alternating between the two screens, when required? It's a given that
there would be a penalty to pay, I know. But since in most cases only
one screen per action is used... Forgetting moving windows to the other
screen here ;-)
Only memory management could be a problem if you need to remember the
shapes. You'd need to move the data back and forth, which is time
consuming if not impossible.

Just shooting ideas here...
