That's possible. Either a .009 or .010 might work, since the scale length of the instrument is such that it would put minimal tension on the body (the .009 would be around 8.5lbs and the .010 is closer to 11lbs).

I admit that I'm far from an expert, but I've only seen plain steel or nickel 'trebles'... for acoustic or electric...a wound string would be interesting to try...
please share a link (even if only something made by GHS)

No one that I know of. The smallest diameter wire I believe you can get is around a .004, which is automatically going to give you .008 in wrap diameter even before you factor in the core wire. There may be a .012 wound classical out there; maybe Savarez?
I was commenting on trying the plain steel string, as that would be easier/cheaper to obtain, provide the intended result but have the added benefit of already being "squeakless."
