Many have advised connecting the shield of the coax to the tower up
near the top.

Doesn't the connection to the antenna take care of that, assuming that
the shield connection at the antenna connector is grounded (some
aren't, I think that most are)?

Also, one is supposed to connect the coax shield to the tower again
near the bottom, where the coax leaves the tower.

What is the best way to do that without damaging the coax or leaving
its innards open to the elements?

At our tower site, we just connect the coax to the antenna. Put up by a
pro, and works just fine.
