You can get a file and some wet sandpaper and try reducing the swelling- this thing isn't so valuable that some work will devalue it.
I had the same swelling problem with a pot-metal Fletcher adapter. I removed the bayonet pin from the fletcher, then wrapped some medium sandpaper around the swollen end and gave it enough twists to sand it down. Forty years later, I am still using that adapter.

I will definately try this. Thanks!
