So let's turn this around: Please show us a *real* case within Gentoo where "-Werror" prevented a real problem which wouldn't otherwise being noticed. E.g. show us a package which was merged on user's system, replacing a working previous version of that package causing *real* problems which could have been prevented if package would have set "-Werror".
I think your request will be difficult to meet, precisely due to the strict policy against -Werror which means that it is already long gone from most packages which originally had it.
From x11 packages (they used to be one of the major remaining -Werror packages, cf. bug #416069) I recall a few cases where broken stuff on user systems triggered -Werror build failures. But this was mostly people who installed something to /usr/local and forgot about it.
