When I need to shorten a screw a scootch or two, I chuck it in my drill and spin it while holding the end to ... whatever, grinder, belt sander, file, etc. Sometimes I have to run a nut onto the screw to get a good grip. Added benefit is that I don't nick my delicate fingertips.
There’s actually a tool for this. I forget what it’s called though.

If I had a tap for whatever these screws are I would just drill and tap some thin aluminum sheet to help with holding them and use a diamond plate to grind them down a little.

After experiencing the Native in Magnacut, I want it in Native Chief also :-))
Hope it will drop soon, the summer is already here.

If you happen to remember, I'd like to know. Drop me a PM?
