Anyone tried using undersized bleed blocks or DIY bleed blocks to bring Shimano road discs free-stroke / lever-throw down?

With the pads a bit worn my levers are almost bottoming out. If I remove the wheel and squeeze them they reset to be too close so the brakes are 'on'. It's getting a bit annoying.
