Is there an extension that I could get that would go inside the end of the handlebar and tighten like the quill stems with a separating wedge? I could then attach the gear changer to that. Does it exist?
Uhh... you'd be better off posting this as an entirely new question. A SRAM P5 shifter is a "grip shift" type, and very, very different from the "thumbshifters" described in the above thread.
However, I'll take a shortcut and point you at what you need. You have this SRAM shifter:
