I don't know if you know this but screw cutters exist. Not only that, there's a chance you already have one. If you have one of these multifunction wire strippers, they have a built-in screw cutter. I remember the first time I was looking up how to shorten screws and learning that I already had a screw cutter. https://www.amazon.com/IRWIN-Vise-Grip-Stripper-ProTouch-2078309/dp/B000JNNWQ2 Honestly, considering most people who DIY their guitar need a wire stripper at some point, get one of these if you don't have one, and it can also shorten your screws.
