Would a very crude solution work? I.e. take a piece of thin paper, aluminum foil, teflon tape or something similar, put it between body and lens mount on one side as you mount the lens. I never tried anything like this, but since you need so little correction, putting the shim between lens and body could be the least amount of work and would allow you to tinker around with thickness. You might have to seal for light leaks tough.

That's exactly what some people do for astrophotography, or for MF backs with high MP sensors. Generally paper is used in that case, often (very) thin greaseproof paper, because that is the easiest to control. Teflon tape is not really controllable, and neither is aluminum foil (crumples to easily).
Kind regards, Wim
