By my count you can do it potentially with just 5 good ones and some throwaways assuming you've got some backup DDs in the level 30-50 range.

Handful of throwaways for E1 (Using lowbie Kikuzuki as flag to force routing to A-C-F, E1 hard is ridiculously easy, I largely used my ~level 35-45 backups for it, and Kikuzuki at level 12) 2 for E2 combined fleet, 2 for E3 combined fleet, 1 for E5. E4 you could run up the middle via yasen route without using any DDs. The DDs you used for E3 come back for E6 and everything but the one you sent to E5 is availble for E7.

Personally I only have five Kai-2 DDs (Shigure, Yuudachi, Ushio, Verniy, Fubuki) and have a bunch I've got in the 50+ range as a result of needing them for various events or working on getting them to Kai-2 (Yukikaze, Shimakaze, Murasame, Hatsuharu, Ayanami, Harusame, Akatsuki) and I've gotten a heck of a lot of mileage out of the latter list. So if you've got some in that range I don't think it'd be impossible at all.
