@yak I had a bike with a super short head tube and had a similar issue. Couldn’t find a bike shop to ream out the steerer tube but a machine shop did do it for me.
Other suggestions are good, also why cant you use the original stem, are the new bars 31.8? If the old stem is 26.0 and your new bars 25.4 can just use a coke can shim
