Most Ti alloys harden under load and stress. I think it's called induction-hardening, so there's another reason for not using a titanium wristpin.
There are so called tool-steel wrist-pins that are much thinner and therefore lighter. But you can taper the originals on the inside, just as Oliver stated.

Cheers,
