First thought off the top of my head would be a series of custom stirrup clips joined to the vertical and fitted to the wedge shaped treads. Sort of like a saddle. You can take that idea and go from there, because I suspect this direct and to-the-point reply would be too busy for the installation. Otherwise the treads may not be able to end in a dimensionless edge. A bent bar with attachment plates, one for the tread, one for the vertical post?

The 33+MB model size is too large for this stage of your model especially if is part if a larger model. You should get rid of all the high poly count groups because many of those can be made a single component. I have the model reduced to about 888KB.In terms of your question I am thinking you maybe getting your self in a box. If you look at any "typical" spiral stair case the railing is on the out side. Your approach would tend to funnel the user toward the side where the tread width goes toward zero. In addition the slope for a rail would very high ( Towrads infinity ) there since the run goes toward zero at that inside corner. If you want a spiral case make it a classic approah where you can model a "reasonable" hand rail. If not go to a more conventional single mid landing approach at the 90 turn. Check the 3d ware house for some ideas.
BTW Howard Leslie has two DC stair builder skp files you may find useful to get some ideas. Sorry could not quickly find the URL
Just some thoughts
