I don't know if you can actually "speed up" balding, but there are ways that you can make your hair grow back slower and finer. Some members here and on a couple of other bald forums like to tweeze all of their hair one area at a time....It can be painful in the beginning, but the hair grows back slower and finer. Other options are to epilate and wax your head which could be painful also, but these methods are more effective if you have more than just "stubble". I can't speak for electrolysis, but even if you get laser treatments, you still will have to shave at some point...just a lot less. I have a friend in Texas who got laser treatements and he is happy but he says the hair grows back finer in a period of four to eight weeks depending. But to have to shave once a month or every other month as opposed to every day/few days is a good tradeoff in his eyes.
