You can buy the Hiem Joint for Dirt Cheap... Why not just buy them instead of Shimming it? But you can always just find some sort of metal Sleeve to go over the 5/16 rod to make it 3/8's... but thats just a BandAid of a Fix..TSC sells the Joints as spare parts for his Stick chassis.

Try thin walled brass tubing, it's 3/8 OD and the threaded rod should be a perfect fit. I've seen it a my LHS and should work for you.
