I don't think the Ascaso is a very good candidate for a single dose mod. However, you can make a narrow hopper out of PVC pipe or a 3D print. Having said that, in my experience (with the I1 mini, not the I1 Steel) the amount of retention seems pretty high and using a bellows (with a narrow hopper) doesn't do much, if anything, to mitigate the issue. On the plus side, the grinder does produce great espresso.

You try anything? I would think a bellows would help blow the coffee stuck in the spout out wouldn't it? I'm looking to try something.
