If I had a set of otherwise perfect rods ruined by filing I would not hesitate to file further for shims. The exact requied bore dia is easily measured. Pieces if nail or wire can be used as bore gauges; more accurate than two different micrometers. if shims are corretly positioned then filed flush can acuurately reposition.
