We've done that for all of our thunderhex this year and it just takes a few seconds. You could even chuck the thunderhex in a drill press, mill or hand drill and take off the necessary material with emery cloth, no lathe required.

This. Since you are only taking off a couple 0.0001's of an inch you won't be able to hold that tolerance cutting unless you have a really nice lathe. We sand the thunderhex stock on the lathe with emory cloth until the axle turns a certain shade of silver and get very consistent results.
