Just have the wife cast for you
Seriously now, there is almost nothing a man cannot accomplish with a roll of duct tape in the tackle box. A band aid put on first provides a little more cushioning right at the crease of the finger. The callous will develop nicely after a while underneath the tape and you wont need it then anyway.
But maybe the braid is only cutting into your finger because it is slipping of the spool? When your casting your applying more pounds of pressure than the drag is set to and this causes the braid to slip and cut into your finger. You can try tighten your drag down more before each cast and then loosen it up again after the cast. Might sound tedious but surely is better than getting your finger spiked every time.
