Fender trussrod hump

Hello!

There is a quite common issue with the fender trussrods, that I have repaired many times. Mostly basses, but even guitars. The trussrod nut goes in to neck when you tighten it like a wedge, and pushes the fretboard up. This makes a hump on the neck and lifts the fret above. I have usually installed a large and thick metal spacer to stop this. But you have to either lift the fretboard or cut hole in it to access the area, which is always difficult to get properly done and takes a lot of time. Especially on Jazz Basses with the binding.

Do you have any nice ideas of some smooth methode to fix this?
