Good idea, that could work.
Any tips on getting the door to the right level? I'm guessing some shims/packers below.

Nothing technical for us just a screwdriver levering over a hammer or something and aim to get it close to the top of the frame.

The inflatable wedges are good

^ This. Air wedges make lifting or prying things so much easier, with little risk of damaging the lifting area.
The big drawback being they turn into a round ball at maximum lift, so become unstable. Adding a block of anything to take up most of the gap and lift up to 25mm works best

We did this because the screw holes were too big but I think it will work for what you describe. We just drilled out the screw holes to a dowel size, glued dowels in and re-drilled holes.
