So, I haven't quite figured it out, but I think I am getting closer. It is possible, the math is just a bit beyond my normal skills so it may take some more time.
Thanks for asking about this. I have always wanted to have inner strokes and strokes that don't overlap. You asking just pushed me to work on it. I hate the getBounds() when you have a shape with a stroke.
