Try just using your index finger and cover all three strings with it. You'll need to push down reasonably hard so that you can bend at the joint and clear the upper E string but it's certainly do-able and, from my limited experience, just as accepted or more common than using three fingers. I've got skinny fingers so started using the three finger/string approach but lately have found one finger is quicker to form and chord so tend to use that.
