German Diopter shank too wide

Does it make sense to run the shank over a course knife sharpener or file on each side until it will fit in the tang receptacle?  Is there a better alternative?

I fit one of those for a friend and found that the tang receptacle tapered a bit from top to bottom.  FWIW

Interesting. I wonder if I could find an appropriate substance to do a cast. Something like they use for dental molds.
