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 :-)

OP used your advice and fixed his nut, but I thought I'd leave this video here for anybody else who runs into a similar problem.

why would you make a new nut when you can save your old one like this? in minutes!
