Not sure how you would use a 40 ohm added to the base of Q405.... in
series with R405 (68K) would do nothing, and in parallel with the BE
junction of Q405 would just keep the transistor from ever turning on
in this application.

I meant in series with R407 to drop another 0.2V at the base of Q405
to try to get it to turn on.

Ah. I get it.

40 ohms wouldn't get it. I'd try maybe about 1 kOhm to about 2.2K.
