I don't know about other browsers, but Fire{bird|fox|thompson's-gazelle}
makes it very simple to switch between alternate stylesheets.  That's
the only "real" solution to this problem that I can think of - give the
user a "typical case" stylesheet as default, let them pick a more
appropriate one (or none at all) as suits their wants and needs.

Well, no, I lie.  There is one other real solution I can think of - that
would be, making a website that looks like something circa 1996.
Like djb's site :)
