Gaara's sand defences are too sturdy for any of Kakashi's techniques besides Raikiri. In terms of speed Kakashi is superior to Sasuke who could wound Gaara, so he can surely bypass the Shield of Sand. I'd say that Kakashi could use some low-class jutsu to distract Gaara and make him lose focus of the enemy to land a Raikiri. Even the Armour of Sand shouldn't be enough for Gaara to survive Kakashi's strike. Even if Gaara were to close himself in the complete Shield of Sand to transform into Shukaku, it'd take time, enough for Kakashi to break the sphere and land a killing blow.
