Shimming a BXA tool holder to fit a AXA post

In my pile of tool holders that came home with my recently aquired lathe, I found a couple of bxa's. I'll leave out how I was scratching my head wondering why they didn't fit and all the no-name imports fit until I connected that my post is AXA and these are BXA.

It looks like .022-0.025" shim on one dovetail would make them useable. Has anyone ever done this?
