The easiest thing to do is try it first with an old mouthpiece; not your favorite, but something usable. Check the pitch carefully with a tuner, then put it on a lathe and take off as much as you can to make it go into the receiver as far as possible, and check it again. If that raises the pitch enough to solve your problem, then you know what to do. It is possible to put metal back onto a mouthpiece shank, but it's a lot of work.
