The usual disclaimers apply......IMHO, YMMV etc.

The smaller diameter string just leaves a little more room between the string and the frets. Swapping out one string probably won't change the relief that much. On the other hand if the smaller string sits deeper in the nut slot it'll just make things worse.
It's worked for me in the past. After reading the op's replies I don't think it'll help in this situation.
