Sleeve bearings are little rollers -- they only turn on one axis. This makes
them cheaper to produce than ball bearings. In theory, a single axis of rotation
is sufficient. In practice, every fan I've ever had seize up and stop working has
used sleeve bearings....

Probably not. Most "traditional" CPU fans have a ridge, frame, or fastener
that extends down over the edge of the CPU package, and so must exceed (but
not by too much!) the size of the package itself -- different for each socket
type.
I *do* have a few old 486 fans around which rely on a dual-sided adhesive
pad to attach to the CPU. These would physically fit, but
(a) I'm not sure that they provide enough cooling for a Celeron, even at
its reduced voltage, and
(b) The thermal conductivity of the pad is probably lower than one would
like.
You may be able to find a Pentium/6x86 fan that uses such a pad, and it
might be sufficient.
