The bar diameter is a sticking point I imagine. Perhaps you could fabricate a steel bar in a slimmer diameter to the standard 22.2 - and braze in a shim for the stem?
Titec produced a bar a few years ago called the 'hellcat' with a narrower diameter on the ends "for ladies" with tiny hands. (EDIT - 19mm OD) The bar was still a good width so unsuitable for your purposes but crucially: They also produced some correspondingly smaller grips which you could use if you made a skinner bar.

Just a thought eh?
BMX stem is the way to go - And in terms of saddle / seatpost .. All the bmx guys ride those saddles which bolt straight onto the post now (through the top of the saddle) which gives a nice clean look (although most BMX posts are 25.4mm)

Or go with something like this ... Cheap and equally clean - Lookin'
