Nuts. Went too far with filing it...

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) in the bottom of the slot with a drop of thin superglue sets to a substance which is probably harder than the original plastic and can be filed cleanly. I haven't read up on the chemistry of this, but there must be something going on as it sets much faster than the glue does normally and produces some heat. Do it somewhere well ventilated!
It works very well though, I've done it a few times to build up over-deepened nut slots.

<EDIT>
Bingo! 30 seconds masking up with tape, sprinkle a little baking soda in, drop of superglue, sprinkle little more over the top. Wait 2 mins, remove tape and blow away excess and it's set like rock.
Filed it flat and it's fixed!

Legend, that's a great tip. Worked like a charm and I'm up and running with no more nasty buzzing!
