Older kitty tries to use the litter box, but pees over the edge into a litter catcher tray in front

Good luck, mine won't go in covered boxes!

Thank you.  Yeah, I know.  But thankfully, covered litter boxes all they've ever known, so they're okay with it.  I keep imagining my own home one day with a room totally devoted to kitty toys, with a door to a safe (screened in but huge) outside play area and one or more separate areas for cat litter.  I know.  Dream on!

We've got six cats--a couple of them are okay with covered boxes, but most of them prefer open ones. 

Your new set up is impressive!  I hope it works out.

Well, after a few days, I can tell you that my little jury-rigged inner-step is working!  The litter trays outside the box are dry!  Yeah!  It's certainly not a perfect solution, but it does seem to be working.

That's great.
