All the methods I've seen of shrinking a LUN have the caveat of taking a backup first. I came to the conclusion that if you have to take a backup of the LUN why not just do as others have said and create a new LUN and copy the data over. It does mean you need the free space to create the additional LUN but if unless you skip taking a backup (obviously not a good idea) you're going to need space somewhere.
