Once you trim it to <128MB... is it really CentOS anymore?
Might you be better off starting with something like Damn Small Linux or DSL-N ( http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ ) which are already close to what you want. A <128MB CentOS is not just trimming the fat. It's carving off the skin, fat, and muscle, and leaving just the skeleton. Though to get it that small, you might have to amputate a leg. ;-)
DSL is also designed to boot and run from usb sticks and such. In fact, that's its specialty.
