Our problem is that the users are trying to defraud others outside of the context of a payment. We use setting up a card as a signal they're a real person, it would be nice to get a sense of how legit the person is earlier in the process.

depending on your use case, have you considered using Stripe Identity?
https://stripe.com/identity

Stripe Identity: Verify identities with confidence

Stripe Identity lets you programmatically confirm the identity of global users so you can prevent attacks from fraudsters while minimizing friction for legitimate customers.

Thanks, I will read up on that. This sounds like it could be exactly what we're looking for.
