Try a SRAM gripshift for your front shifter. It allows you to trim out the derailleur and eliminate rub. SOOO ... if you NEED to push the derailleur cage that far down to get the chain to shift, you can then adjust the rub out of the system out of the shift.

The other thing you can do is to dish the wheel off slightly to the non drive side. This of course assumes that you have some more room. A wheel off center to the non-drive side is actually stronger as it brings the spoke angles from either side closer together and hence their tension.
