Yeah, I’ve tried that technique before (for a different project) and noticed
the same gap. How about using a small bit of flex tubing inside a bit of
pneumatic tubing like so:

No gap:

And, it’s still technically 100% Lego, though I can understand that some
people would feel inclined to frown upon this type of solution... :-)

Bram and I were discussing this and we had both came up with this
modification.
If you take 4 1x1 tiles and put them end on into one of the 2x2 tiles you can
use them to attach the tile to the brick.
This isn’t a standard stud to tube connection but it can be sturdy. Seems to
be variable depending on who builds it and other vagaries. I’ve rolled one as
dice while another fell apart.

Wow, that’s clever. Nice work!
So I am wondering if it is even possible to go smaller. The geometric ratio
seems to suggest not, but then I keep thinking that’s the smallest you can go
and someone goes smaller.
