If the "trollkin" is successful enough, all they need do is get a ruling that the Judge of Kinship (or whatever the office is called) goofed and called a small uzko an enlo. After all, if the trollkin is successful enough to think about Heroquesting, it doesn't need to (sever spirit beats a big club, and all). I wonder if unsuccessful trolls can be reclassified down (visions of Afrikaaner speaking trolls suddenly come to mind :-).

TINY, HAH!! You can't kill another troll for eating (barring enlo), but you can kill her/him for looking at you crosseyed, or picking her/his teeth at you, or whatever. Of course, then, since the other troll is already dead, ... I mean, without the spirit it is not a troll, just another piece of meat, right? And it would be a shame to let it go to waste, now wouldn't it?
As they said in the movie, "That's one hell of a catch, that Catch-22."
