Firstly let me say that you worry too much
Secondly, can I suggest a solution.
Face both ends of the elevator with 1mm ply, this will not only make up the shortfall, but provide an elevator tip that's far more resistant to damage.
2 birds, 1 stone!
If you feel you need to increase my karma rating for this, that's fine
