Hi!
There are no way without subclassing.
For what you need this functionality??? MANY things for grid could be done quite another way than just subclassing columns. I worked on the grid that do very complex processing for ALL columns in grid, but nether worked so slow even for grids with 200 columns.
I can also look to code and tell what could be improved and how to improve speed.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs
It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
