If the encryption key didn't depend on the hardware this would work. Even the iPhone 5C that the recent court case is about relies on the hardware keeping a key secret and it doesn't contain the secure enclave. For an iPhone 5C, the encryption key is derived from the pin and a unique ID for the phone that the CPU itself can't read. The only thing that the application processor can do is perform some crypto instructions using the key, there isn't an operation that would just put the key into memory or a register that you can read from. Even if you have root and the phone in front of you with the password, there's nothing you can do short of decapping it to try to identify that key.
