This is not possible and is not easy. Currently, we don't even have
independent control of the lines that surround the white axes box (the
left and right y-axis lines and the upper and lower x-axis lines. It
is a long-standing wish to be able to control these independently of
the axes box, and this would be a good place for you to start. See
axis.py and axes.py.
