Never met the beast BUT as these voltages are usually achieved by a switching regulator it may be easy enough to change the reference divider to give a lower voltage. (Same would apply to a linear regulator) IF the core and IO supply are tied (unlikely) you could be so bold as to split them and add a voltage dropper and extra decoupling. A silicon diode plus a Schottky (or probably just the silicon diode) would probably suffice. Desperate measures but entirely in the spirit of the exercise.
