I don’t think you need to cut the stem. Just get a longer bolt and use 2 wedges, 1 upside down against the bottom of the stem. In my head that works. My neighbour has a Pedersen I’ll try to catch him tomorrow to see if he has any other ideas.

What a magical place that must be.
Your proposal solves the axial load problem, but provides neglible support against torsional (steering) loads.
Honestly it’s amazing in there, the possibilities are endless ;D
Yeah.
I almost feel like rifling/gouging the stem outer and steerer inside might help just to make the interference a bit rougher.
Or bodge a starnut down there in the mix somehow
