Possible idea:

Open up the booster "fuel pods."

Install a kevlar shock cord and a small parachute, with a little shelf so the parachute sits right behind the nose coe.

Trim back the nose cone shoulder to maybe 1/4", with a really loose fit.

Hoped for behavior: On staging, the nose cones are spun or shake loose, letting the parachutes tumble out.

A tiny bit of weight in the nose cones would help here; when the booster deaccelerates on staging they pull forward.
