They are commonly sold online as nut files, and they work to a degree. Not like real nut files, but the set doesn't cost $100 either.
BTW, the CA glue (super glue) and baking soda trick works quite well. Use a thin CA (I think the stuff sold as Super Glue/Crazy Glue is thin), and mask the fingerboard, head stock, and the parts of the nut that you want to avoid gluing.

I have a few of these, while the can work in a pinch but only for the heavier strings. None of those have a tip cleaner small enough to work an E or B string slot.
Super Glue + Baking soda does work but it's not a permanent fix, it will eventually wear down, and have also found that you will need to liberally lube that slot or you're going to have tuning issues on that string.
