Actually rounding or beveling the sides of each tooth helps the most and hurts your tooth face width the least. Of course it requires a good hand with a dremel and a lot of patience.
Lots of teams use a tranny like this with only two gears. That's where I got the idea. But my idea was to expand it to make it a 3 speed.

As for beveling the teeth, why would you dremel each one as opposed to chucking it up in a lathe and filing it or even making a light cut?
