Re: Improving action by sanding non adjustible bridge and reslott
Opinion of this experienced (*) amateur: As several have said, just get the string slots to the right depth. Later you can remove excess bridge materiel so that about half of each string is showing. In other words, let the string action dictate the height and shape of the bridge, rather than shaping the bridge into which you then cut the slots. Same logic can apply to the nut.
If the height difference is as minor as you say, you probably won't need to adjust the front surfaces for string compensation (which is generally just approximate, anyway).

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
