Lose (some of) the keys!? Keys, especially on small rows (where a key
introduces a lot of overhead), can take a significant percentage of
space.
Turn on key compression? (dunno if innodb supports that)
Other then that I wouldn't know. But live with the fact that keys
introduce overhead. It will be like that on any database system.
