Go for some smaller bars - they aren't that expensive and you should be able to find down to 38's without too much trouble - you may have to ask for them to be ordered if your shop is small though. I think some brands may even have 36's.
Now that you mention it, my neck is a little sore sometimes... Is it possible to actually try out handlebars at a store? I can't imagine how this would work... I'm still a little intimated by my LBS
