Two options...

Use a bit of bone glued to bottom of nut w/ super glue. Then, thin and shape the extra piece of bone to match, and leave it so you know your nut slots will be too high. Then re-install and re-cut nut slots.

Second, this one I learned from J.Arnold on this forum (if memory serves...). Rather than super-glue/bone dust/baking soda mix, cut square slots deeper into the nut slots, glue some bone splints into these slots, then re-cut these slots.

Or just make a new nut... (3rd option)
