A good word is "lighten". Context is important, because some words would be unsuitable in different situations.

Hello Xiongdan1985. How are you? Here is a word which might meet your necessity to indicate "a bit smaller". You can say that the thing is MINUTELY smaller. . . Also, you can say that the thing is DIMINISHED. REDUCED will work in the same context. Great question by the way! ---Warm Regards, Bruce
