    It is actually possible to estimate the compression level without actually compressing everything again, because different levels use different strategies which can be identified in some cases. zlib in particular has three strategies [1] and preflate [2] leverages this to store the deflate stream reconstruction data without much bits.

    There are tools like preflate [1] or precomp [2] that guarantees a bitwise identical reconstruction, of course modulo bugs.
