Getting it cut down to 26.5 (the correct OD to press fit the 26.4 King base plate) with the right tool will be a much better investment in the long term than making a polygon roughly the right size. It might be worth asking CK if they do a 27.0 base plate, they do undersizes to fit over cut steerers and you're unlikely to be the first to ask for an oversize.
