Steerer's Tube Too Short - Need lower stem? 35mm stack height

Long story short I miscalculated and cut the steerer's tube too short by around 5mm (There's around 8mm of space from the steerer's tube to the top of the stem). I currently have a 40mm height stem.. (it's 1-1/8" with a shim to convert it to 1", if that matters any) and the top bolt isn't really clamping onto the steerer's tube at all.. will a 35~mm height stem rectify my issues? and if so, does anyone have any recommendations on a 35mm stack height stem? FSA lists a lot of stems at 35mm but people say they're actually 40mm a lot of the time... or is the only solution a new fork...
