You should be able to find a pill cutter that does not crush the entire pill. I used to cut proscar into quarters years ago and never had that problem. Also, I would not worry about the precise dosage or if it is below 1.25, as propecia itself is only 1mg. Some have very successful results with less than 1mg per day and with fewer side effects, so starting out at 0.5mg - 1mg might not be the worst decision either.
