Default Shave/plane glass?

Take it back to the supplier (or a good glazier, like Roman Glass in
Bristol) and have them grind it down on their belt grinder. This is
easy (for people who have glass-working belt grinders)

You can also do it yourself with a coarse carborundum stone, ideally
working under water. I detest this job, particularly on anything big.
1mm is big for grinding by hand.

Otherwise stretching the frame is probably easier.
