A few years ago I wrote an essay called "The Myth of the One Ring's Power" in which I detail some of the Ring's limitations as far as controlling people. I do not believe I dealt with the idea of "shrink" or "grow", but I would think those physical limitations would not be the same as its psychological powers.
It clearly shrank to fit Isildur instead of Sauron, and it shrank again to fit Gollum. Bilbo, Gollum, Frodo and Sam, who were the only ones to wear it after Sauron and Isildur were all hobbits with similar sized fingers. It would only need to get just a little bit larger to slip off a finger. And such is even possible with an ordinary ring, as I have discovered my own wedding ring will sometimes just slide right off, and I assure you it is not a Ring of Power.
I just love thinking about stuff like this.
