Why don't you just make the bar smaller when there is always a minimum amount to remain?
The minimum amount is not always the same. For example, when mining, the minimum amount is the amount of stamina it costs to mine one layer - at the exact right value, you could mine until your stamina reaches 0.
Beyond allowing for more of certain actions like mining and swimming (glad there's no minimum for that), this also affects movement. I haven't confirmed in w8 yet, but at least in previous versions getting below a certain amount of stamina renders you unable to move even at crawl speed. For a lot of actions, the minimum stamina safeguard is nice to stop you from being immobilized while you're not carrying water.
