You could count up a number of successes

You can set a success cutoff number for each pool size, and just count all rolls equal or higher than that cutoff as successes and demand a given number of successes per pool as high or higher. This gets you around summing, you just look up success die.

To be honest, I think this is a horrible experience, because you essentially need to have a table at hand to remember the cutoffs, and it is not very exact either but here you go:

Pool Cutoff Successes Needed (at least) Probability
1d12 12 1 8.33%
2d12 10 2 6.25%
3d12 9 3 3.7%
4d12 10 3 5.08%
5d12 12 2 4.53%
