While figuring out how I would remove the washer that is trapped I added 1.5mm (3 washers) from a mixed Halfords pack and crossed my fingers, gritted my teeth and used a Ratchet (knowing I risked the Headstock end). Now a lovely action without any crap card shim, 0.3mm relief and just fret 19 is a highspot to sort :) ... Do not try this at home (with anything expensive especially) !

I, erm, fashined them out of some old nuts that had the right inside diameter. I held them in a pair of pliers and filed the corners off. By hand. :( Worked a treat.

I found an old nut with slightly smaller diameter and filed away the inner thread. By hand. Also worked a treat. Total repair time about 20 minutes.
Total time in pre-op indecision mode - about five weeks.
