You could (or have someone else) intonate the saddle a little by filing an angled ramp under the C string. If you need more or less than that would give you, you could add a small piece of auxiliary saddle material for that string just behind or in front of the existing saddle. It doesn't have to be slotted into the bridge, it can just sit on top of the bridge wood, tight against the original saddle. You can use a headless nail or knitting needle or something similar to experiment with. The new piece has to be a tiny bit higher than the existing saddle so that the string clears the old saddle.
Considering that your C is fretting sharp and using the FLAT rule (Fretted (note) Low, Away from Tailpiece) you need your C string's saddle contact point to be further away from the peghead, so you could try putting the new saddle segment behind the existing saddle, towards the endpin.
I have effectively tweaked the intonation on flattop guitars using this method.
But Amsterdam was always good for grieving
And London never fails to leave me blue
And Paris never was my kinda town
So I walked around with the Ft. Worth Blues
