Why would you want to use a skinny axle like that in the first place? A BB30 axle can be over 3 times stiffer at less than half the weight.
Not quite, to go to a BB30 for the same material you will maybe see a doubling of specific stiffness. Not 3 times.
You would then be able to have a lighter axle to have the same stiffness as you did with a standard 25mm axle.
