Dremel all the way. you'll lose some surface, but then you could come up with some nice miniature weather stripping to fill the gap.

I'll agree.. Dremel would be the easiest/most precise way to do it. Go with the Dremel XPR 400 if you are in the market. I just got one and they are great for cutting circles to make your own speaker enclosures, too!
