There are some precedents in the US House. Occasionally,especially in the early 20th Century, people were elected that either not met the age requirement or the 7 year citizenship requirement, but would soon into their terms. In those cases, the seat was held open and the person was seated when they met that requirement.
I will hold that out as a possibilty.
In terms of age, you are considered to have reached the age on the day before your birthday (you will see this in some places where you buy alcohol or tobacco). It is a matter of common law.
If someone was born on January 21st, and would be elected at 34 in the previous November, he could be sworn in as President on January 20th.
