As the documentation states, you can also set the fontsize in points. So if you set it to 4pt it is smaller than 'xx-small'.

Example:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

sizes = [10,8,6,4,'xx-small']

for n,s in enumerate(sizes):
    plt.text(0,n,str(s), fontsize=s)

plt.xlim([-0.5, 0.5])
plt.ylim([-1, len(sizes)])
plt.show()

Result: enter image description here
