I was reading the comments below, and it seems the visual effect of the compression is more important than file size, so, while annoying, you could simply layer compression effects by working on an image in parts where each part is a different saved compressed JPEG.
Working as a brush, I can see a couple possible difficulties. First, I thought that the brush would need to be some factor of 8 in size, but I could see some ways around it. What struck me as most important, was going over the same spot repeatedly with this brush tool. I don't think that a Q of 1 is equal to Q of 10 with 10 passes of the brush, so it wouldn't be as uniform a result as what you have now.
Personally, just being able to apply it to a selection would be nice, IMHO.
