If you are very patient and work slowly and carefully, you can use a Swiss needle file to gradually remove wood from the spot that is preventing the grip from fitting.

Depending on where the wood needs to be removed, you will use either a flat file, or a triangular file, or a round file.

All the wood you will be removing will either be on the back side of the grip, or on the top end when it fits into the side. So your work will not show.

Make a few strokes with the file, then place the grip back on the gun. Continue to work slowly like this until eventually you will have removed enough wood that the grip will fit.

This will work, provided you are very careful. When I do someting like this it takes me forever because I'm always concerned I will break something or ruin something.
