Is there a more-or-less budget-friendly m43 camera that would have a mic input (and decent built-in preamps) and have IBIS? Preferably around the $400 mark for the body only would be great. Used is fine.

I would like to get something for my 13-year-old son, and would probably want to slap a shotgun mic in the hotshoe. A flip out screen would be ideal because I am sure he is going to want to shoot himself (figuratively speaking, of course).

I was thinking of getting a used Panasonic G7 but realized it doesn't have IBIS.

For that kind of money you can get a high quality camcorder with amazing IBIS and super telephoto zoom.  Or get a used G85.
