That is a pain I know, sometimes you have to resort to going on awakening medals stages on easy until your close enough to to level up, that way you gain some items and don't fully waste your stamina.

A stage that gives you zero rank exp but still costs stamina would solve this. Maybe a stage where you actually choose how much stamina you spend, and the rewards would be different, possibly more char exp but an easy boss stage. So you could set your stamnina to be ready at 21 for when you have finished and then continue Questing afterwards.

Or they could just have it go over like they do when you refill with DS
