I know it is too late, but you can register the saving operation by override the boot function in your model:

protected static function boot() {
    parent::boot();

    static::saving(function($model) {
        $savable = [...];
        if (count($savable) > 0) {
            $model->attributes = array_intersect_key($model->attributes, array_flip($savable));
        }
    });
}

This is untested code, but the idea is to remove the attributes that have not intersect with the variable savable before saving the model. The variable savable is an array of the savable attributes. For example $savable = ['foo', 'bar'] will save only the foo and bar attributes.

Pros: You can mass assign any attributes that you want without harm to fillable or guarded.

Cons: The attributes that are not marked as savable, will be deleted from the model after saving.
