It isn't _impossible_, but mpl certainly won't make it easy for you. After
creating your graph and tick labels, you would have to get back the tick
labels as a list of Text objects using "get_xticklabels()". Then, you
modify the font size of the appropriate element in that list. Perhaps
something like this:
xticks = ax.get_xticklabels()
xticks[3].set_fontsize(xticks[3].get_fontsize() * 0.9)
Note: Completely untested.

By "padding" are you referring to the spacing between the tick labels?
That would have to be done by changing the tick locations themselves. By
default, the ticks are equally spaced over the specified domain, and the
labels for those ticks are placed so that the center lines up with the tick
mark. Try using "get_xticks()" and "set_yticks()" and see what happens.
I hope that helps!
