This part maybe more interesting, so I'll focus on it, yeah, having a:
'perf fixperms' command (have a better name? :) ) may make sense, would
need context tho, i.e. something like:

  perf fixperms trace

Or:

  perf fixperms top

But then, perhaps in that case:

  $ trace ls
  Error:	No permissions to read
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_(enter|exit)
  Hint:	Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug'

We could just add some more text saying that please check as well that
the other parts of the path we're trying to access are available once
the suggestion is followed.
