I get what you're getting at, but I wonder why all the effort to do so. This kind of effort at knocking Mary down a peg - blessed not bless ed for example - tends to reduce the Incarnation and as a consequence deficient Christology and further problems with the Holy Trinity. Mary is the way through which God chose to make the Word become flesh. Separating off, reducing any part of it, reduces or diminishes the Incarnation - fundamental to the Christian faith.

Are you the one that said that "Jesus' body carried God."
