Any clues as to how best to do this in situ?

I would have thought that something involving a router (rather than an
angle grinder! g) might be appropriate - but what would be the best
way to control the width of cut? Maybe a bearing-guided cutter running
against a temporary batten or somesuch? However, a router wouldn't get
very close to the corners. How should these be tackled?

TIA.

can you "plant on" extra stripwood on the interior side of the frame
to increase the rebate depth that way?

If the new door is wooden, it might be easier to remove a small amount of
material from the outer edge of the door, so that it fits the existing
frame. Just to the point where it would fit the frame - not off the entire
outside surface.
