I guess that's my question...is there really no way to get the secret off of the hardware so that the function can be reproduced "offline".


This is exactly the threat model this was designed to defeat, so I would imagine not. At the very least, if there is a way to do it Apple is probably unaware. If they are aware, they'll probably open themselves to a class action suit, as its one of the core features that they advertised.
