I'm putting together a spreadsheet of outsiders to use with the Planar Binding spells (organizable according to various elements like "will save", "SLAs", "skills", and so on), and I'm noticing that none have disable device as a skill; even the "roguish" outsiders have generous helpings of stealth, perception, and so on, but no capacity to disable devices.
As this would be a nice skill to access via PB, am I overlooking something? Is there even ONE outsider with disable device?
A summoner's eidolon gets to choose 4 class skills, so you could give that skill to an unfettered eidolon of your own design.
Also -- outsiders get 4 additional class skills beyond those granted by their outsider type. If you can find any outsider that does not have all 4 of its extra class skills already assigned, you would have an opening to give it that skill.
Won't work for PFS, but that's a good solution for a non-PFS game.
I'd probably make it contingent on a K:Planes check for a binder to be aware of a specific build of eidolon available "out there" to call.
The other solution which occurs to me for a RAW-only binding would be to have a crimson & blue ioun stone on hand - with Disable Device as the associated skill - for use by the bound outsider.
anything with an attack can disable a device, eventually :)
"I summoned a demon today."
"Oh, why?"
"I locked my keys inside the house so I had him pick the lock."

I swear if I were a good-ish caster I'd call a specific evil outsider that I could completely control and make them do harmless/helpful things that they hated.
Working at a soup kitchen
Helping old ladies across the street
Putting on a french maids uniform and dusting my Chatchkies (spelling?).
Stuff like that. Naturally, "be nice" would be part of the summoning instructions.
