No, FilterReader negation is not something that can be generically accomplished. Obviously things like grep -v are not that difficult, but a FilterReader may perform transformations for which negation would be a subjective or inapplicable concept (I know these things because I asked the same question years ago). I would expect you are on the right track with your RE, however, and would encourage you to be sure all your greediness etc. is in order before abandoning that line of inquiry.
