As long as we are talking about true SVG strokes it might be possible by adjusting batik.gvt.StrokingShapePainter so that it checks the screen stroke width in it's paint method and then replace the 'real' stroke with a wider stroke to maintain some minimal stroke width (say .5 screen pixel or something). If the SVG content actually draws the thin lines as shapes then detecting/fixing these would effectively require writing a new rasterizer.
