You’re talking 1/4” inch. That is a mouse fart in a hurricane. Go look at a dozen 5.0/5.2/5.7 and you will see a dozen different lengths.
There is absolutely nothing to be gained by cutting a 1/4” off the DS. You will not break the mast base...unless you fail to rotate, or drop it.
It does cut easy, but unless you want to spend some time with a file, or have access to a lathe, the end will be crap.
Years ago I made a new DS, for $16, documented here.
