Unless there's a constitutional amendment, which itself would be highly unlikely, you won't see one.

And even if constitutional amendment remove any age limit it would be still extremely unlikely even if not outright ASB that someone under eighteen could be elected as president or even get major candidacy. Not way that any reasonable party establishment is going accept someone whom have not any knowledge of politics, speciality someone who is not yet even eighteen years old.

Perhaps the Presidency becomes an inherited autocracy like the Kim family, and botched assassination results in a 17 yr old president

What it says on the tin. What do you think would happens? If the person is very smart like a genius what happens?
Sometimes even the genius can go mad. The key is emotional maturity and is unfortunately not related to raw intelligence if there is such thing as one.
 
POD: No William Pitt the Younger. The Founders don't think about age limits.

That takes care of eligibility. Then you need someone to actually win.
