Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to do this at present. Out of curiosity, what is the use case?
I wonder if the best way to do this would be to expose the stroking to the Python level, so given a line one could get a filled path that is the stroked line. I'm not sure how else this could work, since the zooming could be different in each direction, etc., or could even by log-scaled etc. Would you mind creating an issue ticket for this? (Patches welcome, too, of course, and I can provide pointers if you want to take this on yourself...)
