>Is there any treatment for pinhole phimosis apart from circumcision?

Surgically, yes. As mentioned there is circumcision, partial circumcision (which removes less foreskin), dorsal slit etc.

>I suffer from this and the opening of my foreskin is only around 1cm.
>I heard there are stretching techniques and creams to treat phimosis, but will they be affective on pinhole phimosis?

There are stretching techniques that can sometimes resolve the problem. It might also be worth considering seeing your doctor and getting a prescription for a steroid cream which can greatly increase the chances for successfully resolving the problem.

Good luck.
