You can always shorten the text or use abbreviations and then add hover
text with the 'full name' of the column. Mouse hover text isn't *great*
UX-wise, but probably better than nothing. It's generally a little less
'discoverable' even if people are generally used to the idea of hover
tooltips. Additionnaly, I'm not sure how well this will work for blind
people who use screen readers.
