Doesn't the basic path loss formula assume non-directional antennas? Using a calculator [1] that takes gain into account, looks like a narrow beam antenna at 35 dBi could bring it down to a comfortable -75dBm - and I imagine you could have even higher gain with phased array antennas. The real problem is aiming the beams, and SpaceX has already proven this is possible. [1] https://www.pasternack.com/t-calculator-friis.aspx https://www.pasternack.com/t-calculator-friis.aspx
