Neither of the above. Some people have successfully used a 26.0 road stem without modification, but the more robust [stems|users] have enough [metal|mettle] about them to tolerate reaming the bar bore to 26.4, and this is likely to be safer than overstressing the clamp by bending it round the bigger bar.
