If I understand what you are talking about, some bikes already have this. My specialized Roubaix has a thin metal plate that is stuck on the chainstay. It would not have helped the OP, but might help in many cases of chain drop/suck. It's pretty thin, but I think would be enough to minimize the gouging.
