Just break the leading edges with a needle file for a start, and then ease the shoulders with wet & dry paper backed by a narrow file. Patience and frequent testing is the answer.

@gundoc good to know. As posted tried it already with a spanner and it was pretty much on the money. Definitely not loose but not scary tight either.
