If it's just a little too big, you can sand it down with wet & dry paper (it will wear out very quickly). Add a drop of oil before you start grinding. To shift a greater quantity, use emery cloth.
When making a stopper fit a bottle, it's usual to add some grinding paste and grind one against the other. You can buy the paste at car accessory shops and it usually comes in a tin with coarse at one end and fine at the other.

How To File Glass

Yes you can, it takes time though.
Use wet and dry sandpaper/glass paper.
It's the same method used to get scratches out of things like watch faces.

You will need a fine sanding disk and use a lot of water.

take it to glass shop they will have a wet belt sander, this will be safest way for protection of you item. if you try it you may end up creating to much heat and chipping or cracking.
