You bring up some really good points.
Yeah, when i was a kid, i was very boisterous and outgoing, yet i was still extrEmely sensitive, and easily embarrassed and what not (even compared to most children of course).

Sorry i can't advise on therapy for him (although I would strongly advise doing everything possible to avoid pharmaceutical intervention in children), but i would say this. It might be beneficial to see a good psychologist yourself so he/she could give you advice on how best to get your son to be less "rejection-sensitive." Maybe he/she would say that joking around with him in certain ways could be helpful. I'm not sure.

I do think "coaching" him in this as you said, is a great idea though. If you can try to get him to understand that people often say things or make jokes that seem hurtful or embarrassing, but are not intended to be, that might be able to help him too.
