Some stuff to try: openssl has lots of optional features and ciphers; you could probably disable a lot of them.  There are configuration options to do so.  If you're not sure what,  I could try to take a look at the list some time this week.

Another thing to try: recent gccs and their toolchains have a trick where they can stick every function in its own segment, then tell the linker to dump the unused ones. I believe it's called "gc-segments" or something. I have no idea if it would work with openssl, but it could be worth investigating. I believe there's a ticket for tor to use it by default when possible.
