negative outline path from the path dropdowns in the header, then pathfinder action.

and in english:
Object > Path > Offset Path (make it a negative value).
Then Pathfinder shenanigans, maybe Object > Path > Outline Stroke to start with, then pathfinder shenanigans.

airey is correct in that that was the conclusion of the previous thread, but the results won't be perfect. The fact of the matter is that there is no "median stroke" or "centerline" built into type, so there is no quick solution.
