If you can machine on a lathe, or get access, far better to make your own from two or more clusters. Get beneath the hardened parts (grind off unwanted sections) & shrink fit relevant portion (usually fourth or third/fourth from a donor cluster) on to the modified cluster is one of several methods......
You're probably right, but I'm an electrical engineer with a bit of mechanical aptitude. While I know what you mean, I'm pretty confident that I'd balls it up.
