Is it possible to get Ascetic Style to work with Butchering Axe?
Prerequisite(s): Weapon Focus with the chosen melee weapon; base attack bonus +1 or monk level 1st.
Benefit(s): Choose one weapon from the monk fighter weapon group. While using this style and wielding the chosen weapon, you can apply the effects of feats that have Improved Unarmed Strike as a prerequisite, as well as effects that augment an unarmed strike, as if attacks with the weapon were unarmed attacks.
Special: A 5th-level monk or character with the weapon training (monk) class feature can use Ascetic Style with any monk weapon, in addition to the chosen melee weapon.

Weapon Group axesIf your Strength is less than 19 (or 17 for a Small or smaller butchering axe), you take a –2 penalty on attacks with it, as you’re unable to maneuver its daunting size and weight.

Add the Butchering Axe to the monk fighter weapon group with a Versatile Design modification for 500 gp. The proficiency rating increases from "Exotic" to "unusable", so you'd have to take Weapon Adept or Modified Weapon Proficiency feats to keep using it.
Remember that you can save a feat on EWP by buying the Cracked Opalescent White Pyramid ioun stone.

make it a monk weapon, and an unchained monk can use it with auto proficiency
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Monks are proficient with the club, crossbow (light or heavy), dagger, handaxe, javelin, kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, short sword, shortspear, shuriken, siangham, sling, spear, and any weapon with the monk special weapon quality
make it a monk weapon
There is no way in the game to do that.
crusader flurry doesn’t count?
Technically, no ("treated as" is not the same as "is"), although there isn't much of a difference. In this case, the talk was about proficiency, and you'd need proficiency with the weapon to select Crusader's Flurry to begin with (because of the Weapon Focus prereq). Unless there's a way to get Weapon Focus in a non-proficient weapon.
Weapon Modifications.
Tactically Adapted doesn't list the monk weapon property, and Versatile Design only adds a weapon group. The monk weapon group and the monk special weapon quality have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
