How about "-quit", which seems to be implemented in find 4.5.11?
-quit Exit immediately. No child processes will be left running, but
no more paths specified on the command line will be processed.
For example, find /tmp/foo /tmp/bar -print -quit will print only
/tmp/foo. Any command lines which have been built up with
-execdir ... {} + will be invoked before find exits. The exit
status may or may not be zero, depending on whether an error has
already occurred.
