Remember that the border is on what is essentially a box. You are asking to make the border "narrower" than the length of the text. Are you wanting to make the containing element (box) narrower than the text contained within?
You could do it if you added a new, smaller element below (such as an empty div) and give it a border, then align the div. You get my drift here?
