"End up"? It has already happened. (From Wikipedia, but well sourced):

Initially, European banks had the largest holdings of Greek debt. However, this has shifted as the "troika" (i.e., European Central Bank or ECB, International Monetary Fund or IMF, and a European government-sponsored fund) have purchased Greek bonds. (...) Excluding Greek banks, European banks had €45.8bn exposure to Greece in June 2011, with €9.4bn held by French and €7.9bn by German banks. However, by early 2015 their holdings were minimal, roughly €2.4B.

Euro area population: http://www.tradingeconomics.com/euro-area/population

330,000,000 (2015 numbers)

Fiscal transfer: €45.8B-€2.4B = €43.4B (your numbers :)

43.4B / 330M = €131.5 from each man, woman, child in the €zone.
