Does this have a carbon steerer tube? If so, I'd try to remove a couple spacers. It's possible to damage a carbon steerer tube if you have too many spacers. I learned the hard way. Fortunately I didn't actually crack the tube, but it did have what looked like a crimp in the tube. I was able to drop the stem and cut off the damaged section of the steerer.
