Your inlay does not have to be much oversized.  If I can do this around a curve,
you can do it on a straibght.  Tape the multiple pieces in the groove, then
adjust the tape until you get it just right.  Then use thin CA (super) glue
wicked in, then scrape level on both the top and the side.  You can really get
the rabbet cut so the fit is near perfect to begin with - use a scrap to adjust
your tools.

Here are 4 shots to show the sequence (ignore the r**t*r):

These little strips are .030 each IIRC
