"likely too subtile"
Rather than the automatic "cutting slides" solution (which limits tuning flexibility even further), look for a smaller BODY BOW that could be removed from the instrument, shortened and replaced...
...hopefully, one that - if shortened by one inch or so on each side - won't redefine the positioning of braces.
