Hope whatever you choose to do on your bike works as well for you...
That's how I envisioned a spacer working on the OP's bike, but as @TejanoTrackie said, doing that will affect chainline. Because your BB shell was shaved by a millimeter, the spacer had no net effect on yours, but that may not be the case with the OP's bike. Whether a millimeter of chainline makes any significant difference is a question of how straight it is to begin with.
