Eliminating the fine structure splitting (FSS) of excitons in self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) is essential to the generation of high quality entangled photon pairs. It has been shown that the FSS has a lower bound under uniaxial stress. In this letter, we show that the FSS of excitons in a general self-assembled InGaAs/GaAs QD can be fully suppressed via combined stresses along the [110] and [010] directions. The result is confirmed by atomic empirical pseudopotential calculations. For all the QDs we studied, the FSS can be tuned to be vanishingly small ($<$ 0.1 $\mu$eV), which is sufficient small for high quality entangled photon emission.
