They do make a version for small hands now, but you already have something different that works for you.
I have had the lever slip in as well. It can happen if you only use the tip of your fingers to brake. Im not a big fan of the combined brake/shifter either, but then again it works just fine and its not a biggie.
The newer (4700, 5800, ... ) levers can be adjusted in, for small hands, with a small allen screw under the hood. The older models need a shim between the lever and the lever body
