Let me see if I have this right. The OP wants to install a component that does not fit properly. To make it fit, he, or she, intends to irreversibly alter a frame set. And someone here suggested this is good advice.
I wouldn't and I didn't. I have this problem, with two bikes, at the moment and I went with component modification, as opposed to damaging a frame set. But that is just me.
