Not a portable solution, but I've definitely done something like this for making booklets.
1. Open up a regular stapler surface mode.
2. use a flattened shipping box as a backing surface, to give your fingers a break from the stabbing.
3. Staple through.
4. pull the paper and the staples up.
5. Start bending the staples down with pliers, to get a nice distinct fold started.
6. Bend the rest of the way by hand.
7. Masking tape the edge. (or, for more visual flair, washi tape).
I imagine you could also do something like hammer the staples a bit, but the tape really helps ensure the staples don't catch.
The staples won't have inward curve that staplers usually apply as the standard anti-catch measure, but I like this actually--combined with the tape, everything sits more flush.
