>> I wonder how comparatively easy it would be to lengthen (deepen) the barrel's socket <<

Entirely possible. The only "problem" is somewhat similar to what you mentioned in your previous post. If the barrel plays well when inserted all the way right now, it would have to be attached the same length after, which means it won't be leaning on either the socket bottom or the tenon step, which means it might be a bit less stable, especially with a possibly old and worn tenon/socket.

>> It may be a bit of research to find a tech with a proper reamer <<

This is not something that is done with a reamer.
