What you can do if you have the LH1 fingerplate screwed down so it barely (but only just) moves is have a nylon tip fitted to the adjusting screw.
This will add more length to the adjusting screw and as it's that close to the surface of the top joint, there'll be no need for any silencing material to be stuck to the body as the nylon tip will have next to no noise with such little movement.
You can gain at least 1mm with having a nylon tip fitted - the adjusting screw will have to be drilled out by a couple of millimetres and a piece of nylon monofilament (fishing line, guitar/harp string, etc.) will be superglued in. Then the filament cut to the required length and the tip filed or sanded to form a gentle dome to make adjustments more precise. Or gently heating the end of the nylon in a flame will melt it into a dome if that's easier to do.
