I was thinking that if you use one of those pencil die grinders,
you could use the air exhaust to vacuum the dust up.
I have my little sandblasting cabinet set up with a small valve on
the exhaust hose so that it acts as a vortex vacuum to blow the
fine dust outside. Not very elegant, but it works.
