Wish I had a lathe and a mill ! To do it right you would have to thread and blank it out. Put it on the rifle to time it then do the skeleton work. Or have a jam nut that looked really cool like a sleeve u could tighten up with a mini spanned like you set micrometers with. My mind is going…probably won't sleep tonight.

The AnTi X action? Or the bolt handle?

Tagging in on this one. I have just the standard AnTi but I have to use high mounts to fit my Z6 on it. Even then the handle doesn't clear the oem swaro eye piece cover. Looks dumb because the scope is about 1/2" above the barrel and I have to have my head higher than normal when I shoot. If there's a replacement out there that solves this I'd like to know!

Defiance AnTi X (meaning as light as a Ti action, but made of steel. Defiance is Anti Titanium).
Here is a pair of my own. Front in 6.5SS, rear (with temp scope and stock) in 7SS.
And the 7SS in finished form.

Yeah, Zeiss' ocular housing is really fat. I ran into the same issue on a Tenacity with a Z6 3-18x50 using Seekins "low" (.82" 30mm). Had to go to Seekins "high" rings (1.0" 30mm) too.

Just a FYI to all perspective buyers, all TENACITY, ANTI & ANTI-x come with the improved handle geometry so no more clearance issues.

Not informed as to the composition of said bolt but with steel bolts from CZ, Mauser, Remington and Winchester, etc... necessary tools might include: Dremel, files, polishing compound and elbow grease. Occasionally a torch for bending is helpful.

Interesting. Assuming the ocular housing is the same size on the 5-30, 20MOA would have been the way to go. Your handle clears the ocular lens cover? Mine only does when it's open. If it's closed the bolt will pop it open when I cycle it. Then, if I close it with the bolt open the bolt is stuck open until I open the lens again.
Ross - you may want to contact Defiance. Maybe their new bolt handle will help.
I think my smith might have come up with something of his own design. Awaiting the results. I'll keep you posted.
Appreciate this lead. I'll follow it and see what happens.
