The EU doesn't even do mass testing so there is no way the island is going to be able to afford it.

No, but they get a lot of assistance from Dutch and EU funding sources.

St Barth's original plan was to test the entire island. They've since moved on from that idea. They are still requiring a negative PCR test, and are still testing visitors on D+7.

As of Saturday St Barth had performed 1612 tests, St Martin had performed 1770 tests, and St Maarten had performed 984 "community" tests and 350 tests on arrivals at the airport.
