How's that? "If you are a monk, you instead deal unarmed damage as a monk 4 levels higher." Assuming a medium character and one level of monk, this would increase your damage from 1d6 to 1d8. And you would not have to spend a feat on Improved Unarmed Strike in addition to getting Stunning Fist as a bonus feat.
You would not continue to advance in damage as a straight Swordsage would, but taking Improved Natural Attack would improve your damage to 2d6, which is the maximum available from Superior Unarmed Strike. The 1st-level PsyWar power Expansion would then increase your damage to 3d6.
