Yes, I have had to shim up to make a Hogue (wood) grip work. I used a drill to open up the diameter, but not the depth of the grip screw hole. I then stacked a couple of small washers on the screw. You might also try a short grip screw, there are two length grip screws.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

You can find correct diameter nylon spacers at ACE Hdwr. for a few cents each and not have to drill the grip. I have used this solution on a couple og my Hogue's.
