How to make xAxis on bar chart match pointWidth

Question

So far I've been able to adjust the size of the pointWidth on a bar chart, which simply changes the width of the bar. But what I really want is the axis to also match that size. For example, take a look at this:

Highcharts.chart('container', {
  chart: {
    type: 'bar'
  },
  xAxis: {
    categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']
  },

  plotOptions: {
    series: {
      pointWidth: 10
    }
  },

  series: [{
    data: [29.9, 71.5, 106.4, 129.2, 144.0, 176.0, 135.6, 148.5, 216.4, 194.1, 95.6, 54.4]
  }]
});

<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js"></script>

<div id="container" style="height: 400px"></div>

The pointWidth means the bar is actually smaller, but the xAxis is actually not adjusting it's size to match it. How can I adjust that size?

Height of each data point container is calculated depending on the height of the main container. See the 320px vs 400px container height in the example below.

var opt = {
  chart: {
    type: 'bar'
  },
  xAxis: {
    categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']
  },

  plotOptions: {
    series: {
      pointWidth: 10
    }
  },

  series: [{
    data: [29.9, 71.5, 106.4, 129.2, 144.0, 176.0, 135.6, 148.5, 216.4, 194.1, 95.6, 54.4]
  }]
};

Highcharts.chart('container1', opt);
Highcharts.chart('container2', opt);

<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js"></script>

<div id="container1" style="height: 320px"></div>
<div id="container2" style="height: 400px"></div>
