Easier question: what's the need? If it's simply aesthetic, tell the client that the formatting requirements/restrictions have changed since 2009 or whenever, which they have, and 1.2 is the minimum now. You can try to set a line-height of, say, 98%, but in the long run, you'll regret it (wait until you see the hybrid-kluged K4iOS you'll get from that). A better alternative, if it's something like an epigraph, etc., is to use a size-smaller font. It's imperfect, but it imparts a similar
feel.
From Amazon's Formatting Guidelines, 2103-3, 3.1.1, second bullet, page 11:

• Body text must use the default font size and line height. Body text should not use the <font size=”…”> tag or the font-size and line-height attributes in CSS.

To ensure pagination, the Kindle Reader does not honor line-height value less than 1.2 em or 120%.

Thus, you are, as they say, stucketh. ;-)
