My old boss, a machinist did just that, he machined a 2 step collar that fit most 1" headsets. The threaded rod needs to be a tight in the collar to help keep the collars centered and from rocking.
The SB method with big washers is one of the worst methods I've ever seen as there's noting to keep the rod centered and no way to keep the washers from shifting.
I own an expensive cup tool and it has a lot to be desired, it's a compromise to fit in a tool box.
