How is someone supposed to gain new skills and move into a higher-level position if every employer requires experience they haven't had the opportunity to obtain yet? I'd genuinely love to hear how others have navigated this challenge.

It stinks but you stay in a role until you get the higher position and then leave. Or you stay until you’re justttt about ready for the next role - overqualified and then leave. The latter is harder because you have to convince new employer that you’re capable of something that you have no documented history of doing .

In the current landscape lots of places are giving people more responsibility without promotions or raises. That gets you the exposure and experience for your resume to find a place willing to pay you for it.
