Hi Nolan,
As you mentioned above it is not possible within Views yet, currently I suggest you try create a javascript to hide the options in the dropdown menu, for example:
your dorpdown menu is using html name "wpvcategory", you are going to hide options with value "ca1" and "ca3", please try edit your view, in section "Filter HTML/CSS/JS", click "Close JS editor" button, add below codes:
jQuery(function($){ var arr=['ca1', 'ca3']; $('select[name="wpvcategory"] option').each(function(){ if(jQuery.inArray($(this).val(), arr)>=0){ $(this).hide(); } }); })
