I know its desperate Doug but I'm working on the flimsy premise that size matters smile
If the contact size/mass comes down the power to generate a lower mag flux density to move the lighter mechanical assemble (and lower spring force) would reduce too, as with a smaller coil in a micro relay.

Agree with your thoughts Roger. Another possible solution would be wiring an extra external diode, reverse biased across the relay coil connections.
