anything smaller than a 19mm seat bolt?

I'm just trying to fettle my seat post bolt, which does not have a locating lug.

however, I find that it IS 19mm internal closed length, and has clearly had added washers suggesting that the frame has been closed up in the past through use.

Is there a smaller bolt available than 19mm closed internal length? Or do I try and lever the jaws apart and free up the pressure on the saddle post at the same time?
 
Re:

In times gone past, I've sawn both the male and female part down a few mm to get the desired result.
Admit its a bodge - attracts rust etc on the bare metal parts
