I was attempting to test the viability of a missile using RCS to guide itself to its target instead of gimbaling thrusters (a la MKV) in order to eliminate the need for turnabout time. However, its minimum size is significantly limited due to quirks related to thruster collision boxes.
Apparently, they're considered solid boxes for intersection calculation purposes, which causes problems like this:
Note fixing it by using multiple boxes still doesn't handle some edge cases like this one(which would be able to reduce that missile's diameter by about 2cm over the thruster layout in the first screenshot):
