It's non-trivial, but further division of bitcoins is possible to implement and would likely be accepted by the network if it was in the best interest of the currency.

Except there's a growing number of miners are ignoring small transactions aka "dust"
In a world where bitcoin are so scarce that further division becomes necessary, that "dust" would be worth enough to have them not ignore it.
This sort of change would only be necessary if the value of a bitcoin grows significantly making today's dust into tomorrow's crumbs. I don't generally pick up pennies, but I've never ignored a dollar before.
