I don't think this will be possible. Even if you did find three verbs like this, they probably wouldn't all be regular verbs and thus wouldn't be useful for learning the three -ar, -er, and -ir verb conjugations. That said, these are all the pairs I can think of:

morar - to dwell
morir - to die

podar - to prune
poder - to be able to

sumir - to sink
sumar - to add

sentar - to sit
sentir - to feel

parir - to give birth
parar - to stop

asir - to seize
asar - to grill
(hacer sounds the same, but is spelled differently )

verter - to pour
vertir - to pour

salar - to season/salt
salir - to go out

vender - to sell
vendar - to bandage

This is an interesting idea, but I'd just recommend you bite the bullet and start learning them even if it's not easy. Your ultimate goal should be to learn all Spanish verbs anyway, right?
