Does anyone know a quick-fix to level the strings on the nut?

It's a 2'nd hand parts-caster made from old Fuji-gen parts, and I'd really like to avoid removing the old nut (it's not coming out easy), was thinking to try giving it some epoxy or super-glue in the slit for the D and B-string, but I'd love to hear any ideas before I start destroying one of my guitars :-)

are you happy with the level of the strings relative to the first few frets? if so, maybe you can just sand down the nut from the top.

I'd like to get as high as possible, I want to use it as a designated slide-guitar and I'm trying to avoid the rattle.
